Dunamu Receives 'Commissioner of Police Award' at the 16th Cyber Security Awards

Dunamu, the operator of the virtual asset exchange Upbit, announced on the 22nd that its Legal Team 3 leader received a Commendation from the Commissioner of the National Police Agency at the '16th Cyber Security Awards Ceremony' in recognition of their efforts to eradicate cybercrime.

The Cyber Security Awards were established in 2008 to actively discover and reward individuals who have made significant contributions to safety in cyberspace, as well as to boost the morale of cyber police and strengthen cooperation with the private sector. Marking its 16th year, the awards ceremony was held on the 19th at Songdo Convensia in Incheon. At this ceremony, 27 individuals including police officers, public officials, and citizens who contributed to establishing cyber security in areas such as cybercrime investigation and prevention, and digital forensics, were presented with commendations and certificates of appreciation.

Dunamu’s Legal Team 3 leader received the Commendation from the Commissioner of the National Police Agency for their meritorious contribution to public-private cooperation aimed at eradicating the recently increasing crimes related to virtual assets. Dunamu was the only domestic virtual asset operator to have an awardee this year. The legal team at Dunamu has actively communicated with investigative agencies by producing and distributing investigation cooperation manuals and educational materials to nationwide investigative bodies to ensure swift and strict responses to crimes related to virtual assets.

Responding to virtual asset-related crimes, which require prompt investigation, necessitates close collaboration among specialized personnel throughout all procedures including virtual asset analysis, tracking, and investigation. Therefore, these efforts highlight the importance of consolidating cyber security capabilities and the need for broad societal cooperation in security.

A representative of Dunamu’s legal team stated, "It is very meaningful and an honor to receive this commendation as a result of the efforts of all Dunamu members who worked together to prevent crimes involving virtual asset usage," adding, "We will continue to cooperate more closely with the police and various investigative agencies to foster a healthy virtual asset ecosystem."
