In recent developments, hundreds of thousands of people have been trafficked into criminal enclaves in Myanmar and Cambodia, where they are forced to scam strangers online. This modern form of human trafficking has seen victims lured by job offers and subsequently coerced into illegal activities. Meanwhile, India has reported a significant financial loss of $16.96 million to cyber scams from Southeast Asia in just four months, with a 986% surge in financial fraud cases over the last five years. A leading criminal lawyer specializing in cyber cases was duped by an online fraud syndicate, resulting in a loss of Rs 93 lakh. Additionally, the east division cybercrime police in India managed to recover ₹1.4 crore out of the ₹1.53 crore stolen by a software engineer couple in an online investment racket.
