Cybercrime hubs shift to Madagascar
Scam centers previously operating in Cambodia have been relocated to Madagascar, per Arabnews.pk. The shift follows the shutdown of operations in Cambodia and represents a growing trend in regional cybercrime.
The Japan Times reports that these scam operations are linked to criminal networks based in Cambodia, indicating a transnational crime pattern that has now extended into Madagascar’s digital landscape.
Madagascar's government is reportedly working with international partners to address the growing threat of online fraud, as the country becomes a new hub for cybercriminal activity, per Africaintelligence.com.
