NFTs that rely on smaller blockchains could be vulnerable to a Sybil attack. This is where the attacker gains control of more than 50% of the peer nodes that verify transactions and thus can manipulate NFT ownership verification. Finally, a metaverse space may not honor the ownership asserted in the NFT as there is no legal reason to do so.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The firm also believes that criminal groups could be drawn to the Metaverse world due to the huge volume of e-commerce transactions, stating: \u201cIn the metaverse, we will likely see more pump-and-dump schemes. Malicious actors will boost the value of digital assets through fake recommendations, endorsements, and investments; and then dump the assets.\u201d In theory, the valuation of virtual land is highly dependent on perception and could be open to manipulation.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Trend Micro thinks that law enforcement agencies would potentially struggle in the first couple of years of metaverse development because of the high cost of intercepting digital crimes and criminals at scale. They will also have difficulty because jurisdiction is hard to establish. The time required to build metaverse expertise would also mean that this class of crimes could go largely unpoliced in the initial years. The firm said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf a user is defrauded or robbed, then getting help, filing complaints, or filing legal actions will be very difficult. The user will also be using decentralized digital currencies, which adds to the complexity of the situation.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In its conclusion, the report calls for developing suitable security models in anticipation of a large inflow of investments into the industry. Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has said recently that the Metaverse is an opportunity that could unlock \u2018trillions of dollars\u2019\u00a0over time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"crypto_biz\"><\/template><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
