<h1>International takedown of transnational tech-support scam ring that stole about $40M using remote-access tools</h1> A national investigative agency, in coordination with a foreign law enforcement agency, dismantled a transnational cybercrime syndicate that defrauded foreign nationals of roughly USD 40 million through tech-support scams from 2023-2025. The operation uncovered a call centre, arrested key operatives, intercepted dozens of participants, and recovered cash, mobile devices, laptops and hard drives containing digital evidence. The scheme used unauthorized remote-access software to seize control of victims' systems and induce transfers to cryptocurrency wallets. International cooperation with multiple agencies, including Interpol, continues as investigators trace proceeds, wider network links and jurisdictional leads.
