flag U.S. launches strike force against Southeast Asian cybercrime rings, targeting fraud networks in Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar.

flag The U.S. has launched a new “Scam Center Strike Force” to combat cybercrime networks in Southeast Asia, labeling them a national and homeland security threat. flag These operations, based in Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, lure victims with fake jobs, subjecting them to coercion and fraud. flag Recent actions include sanctions on the Cambodia-based Prince Group, seizures of over $115 million in assets, and international cooperation involving the U.S., UK, South Korea, and Singapore. flag Despite efforts, criminal groups persist due to corruption and weak governance. flag The U.N. estimates hundreds of thousands remain trapped, and global responses now include intelligence sharing, asset seizures, and diplomatic pressure to dismantle these highly adaptive networks.
