According to news from Deep Tide TechFlow, on January 10, Beijing Business Daily reported that at a press conference held by the Ministry of Public Security on January 10, it was announced that by the end of 2024, more than 53,000 Chinese criminal suspects involved in telecom fraud from northern Myanmar had been captured, successfully dismantling the 'Four Big Families' crime group in northern Myanmar.
The Ministry of Public Security pointed out that although the crackdown has been effective, the crime situation remains severe. Fraud groups are continuously upgrading their criminal tools using new technologies such as blockchain, virtual currency, and AI intelligence. These gangs are well-organized and engage in illegal activities such as app development, traffic promotion, and money laundering through cross-border cooperation.
Fraudsters customize scam scripts targeting different age groups, professions, and educational backgrounds, leading to a wide range of victims. Although the telecom fraud parks in northern Myanmar near the Chinese border have been eliminated, there are still many fraudulent dens abroad disguised as 'technology parks' and 'development zones'.
