  4. One of the horrifying aspects of China's repression of Uyghurs is that other countries cooperate with it. Consider, for example, #Cambodia. When a Uyghur man fled from #China to Cambodia, only to be enslaved in a #cyberscam compound, what did the Cambodian authorities do when they "rescued" him? Did they treat him as a #refugee? No! They sent poor Abdureqip Rahman back to China! The Washington Post has details in a paywalled article: washingtonpost.com/world/inter

  12. #Vorsicht beim #Onlineshopping, #chinesischer #Cyberscam und Fazit vom #Digitalgipfel mit Frederike Kaltheuner - #TheyTalkTech – mit Eckert und Wolfangel - #Podcast:

    Passend zur nahenden Black Week und zum Black Friday stößt Svea beim Online-Shopping auf einen Shop, der auf den ersten Blick seriös wirkt: deutsche Adresse, perfekte Texte, alles sauber. Doch im Hintergrund passt nichts zusammen und Svea fällt rein, auf ein schlechtes Produkt ohne Rücksendemöglichkeit.

  21. Organized crime originating in southeast Asian is using industrial-scale scam centers to rapidly scale cyber crime efforts globally.

    Generating approx. $30B USD annually, these syndicates are the "definitive market leaders in cyber-enabled fraud, money laundering, and underground banking globally".

    Not surprising these crime syndicates are actively developing key infrastructure and infiltrating legitimate financial industries - particularly those related to online payment processing, blockchain technology, and cryptocurrency trading and exchange services.

  23. On s'est beaucoup moqué d'elle sur les Internets avec cette histoire de #FauxBradPitt mais j'ai trouvé peu d'analyse qui parlait du contexte, de la #solitude d'Anne.

    Je trouve cette vidéo de #LéoDuff très complète, sourcée, avec la bonne dose d'empathie MAIS attention au passage sur les usines à scams birmanes, c'est très cru sur le traitement des victimes de ce côté là.
