The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) released a report that transnational crime syndicates based in Southeast Asia have evolved into global cybercrime powerhouses. The Inflection Point 2025 Report warns that these criminal syndicates, spreading into India, Africa and South Asia are driving fraud, underground banking, and illicit digital markets. The report details that these networks which rely heavily on trafficked labour and unregulated digital finance systems, now operate as organised enterprises, committing frauds globally.
