CBI cracks down on cyber-enabled crime syndicates in 11 States

The Hindu  

The Central Bureau of Investigation has searched 76 locations across 11 States as part of the “Chakra-II” operation launched against the organised cyber-enabled financial crimes. The accused, operating nine call centres across five States/union territory, systematically preyed on foreign nationals, masquerading as technical support representatives,” said the agency. Explaining the modus operandi, the CBI said the accused would send to their targets Internet pop-up messages masked as security alerts, claiming that the recipients’ computers had various technical glitches. “This audacious scheme, under the guise of a fake crypto mining operation, targeted unsuspecting Indian citizens, resulting in a staggering loss of over ₹100 crore to Indian victims,” said the agency. “The CBI is working closely in the spirit of international police cooperation with its international counterparts, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation of U.S.A., Cybercrime Directorate and IFCACC of Interpol, the National Crime Agency in the United Kingdom, the Singapore Police Force and the BKA of Germany to notify further leads,” it said.
