Popis: Crimes related to cryptocurrencies are on the rise. In Malaysia, reported losses is increasing from USD2.67 million in 2017 to USD55.32 million in 2018. This raise a concern whether the current process, tools and trainings are sufficient for Malaysian investigators to conduct cryptocurrencies forensics. A survey questionnaire was conducted to answer four questions; is the current (i)process model (ii)tools, and (iii)trainings sufficient? Lastly (iv)is there a relationship between work experience years and the needs for process model, tools and trainings? The result shows respondents (i) agreed that process model is insufficient; (ii) neutral on the sufficiency of tool, however, they suggested a tool to collect suspected cryptowallets information, cryptowallets triage tool; and automated cryptocurrencies transfer tool; (iii) agreed that training program is insufficient, and lastly (iv) regardless of years of experience, investigators do need a process model, tools and trainings to conduct work. Surprisingly these findings echoed with worldwide view. The study highlights the need for a cryptocurrencies forensics process model, tools and trainings program in place.
