About CAT Labs
CAT Labs is a US cybersecurity and digital asset investigation company whose main product, Recovery CAT, finds, identifies and seizes cryptocurrency from phones, computers, servers, email, cloud accounts and documents. It targets the bottleneck law enforcement and asset recovery professionals face in crypto forensics: private key and seed phrase traces are scattered across devices and files, making manual review extremely slow. The tool is designed to integrate with existing forensic and analysis workflows, covering discovery, seizure, chain-of-custody controls and reporting.
Clients fall into three groups: government agencies seizing crypto in criminal cases, law firms, private investigators and asset recovery professionals working through bankruptcy, estate, restructuring and divorce proceedings to find hidden assets, and crypto businesses joining as design partners for the Security CAT security framework. The company also works with C4 on applying the CryptoCurrency Security Standard to private key management ratings, which insurance brokers and underwriters use as a reference benchmark for underwriting digital asset risk.
In May 2026, CAT Labs announced the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) in Florida as a new partner, and on July 20 the industry group The Digital Chamber posted on X that it had seen BSO using CAT Labs technology to gain visibility into digital assets. The company says its tools have identified more than $30 million in seizable digital assets for state and local agencies and recovered over $1 million from evidence an agency already held.
CAT Labs' product line pairs Recovery CAT and Security CAT: the former scans forensic images, mobile extractions, cloud returns and documents for private keys, seed phrases and wallet artifacts, including text in photos and handwriting, then validates finds and checks addresses and balances; the latter holds key material under lattice-based threshold encryption, splitting transfer approval and seed access between different people. Lilita Infante is founder and CEO, and the company is based in Miami.
CAT Labs will build for the federal market around the Digital Asset Inventory and Audit Act of 2026 (H.R. 10317), introduced in the House on September 8, 2026, which would require every federal agency that seizes or collects electronic data to scan it for crypto key material and audit digital assets annually; the bill is pending in the House Judiciary Committee.

John Hays — Head of Digital Forensics; former DEA forensic examiner specializing in digital asset recovery.
