The Rise of Scam Centers in Southeast Asia
Amid regional instability and upheaval, scam centers have proliferated throughout Southeast Asia. Externally, most scam centers are nearly inconspicuous, appearing as industrial parks or office buildings. Internally, however, they have accommodated cybercrime that has cost individuals and institutions billions of dollars across the world. They have also facilitated the trafficking of hundreds of thousands of human beings. This scale of cybercrime was only possible due to the current globalized economy. Globalization unintentionally enabled scam centers to expand beyond borders, giving criminal actors new ways to secure profit and influence. Brief by Jackson Kvam 5/26/2026 |
