National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center warns that fake plugins for popular AI agents can steal files and open a back door — and the problem is growing fast. Several IOCs of skill poisoning were also published in the advisory.

Anthropic said its threat intelligence team spotted the activity by watching how accounts behaved, not by reading every chat. Investigators grouped related users into internal clusters, then matched language, time zones, shared proxy servers, fake identities, virtual cards and stolen API keys. Sudden spikes in traffic — in some cases millions of exchanges a day — and the reuse of the same account pools after bans pointed to organised campaigns rather than isolated users. The company said it then

Commercial IP-to-geolocation APIs sit behind fraud checks, geo-blocking, tax rules, CDN steering and content licences. They return a city, a pair of coordinates and an air of certainty. This week’s APNIC 62 Cooperation SIG in Mumbai, drawing on the IAB Workshop on IP Address Geolocation, argued that certainty is the product defect: an IP address was never a location, and treating the API as one creates bad routing, weak security and a quiet privacy leak.

F1 InfoTech is hiring 30 cyber forensics, OSINT and AI/ML professionals for I4C (MHA). New Delhi and Assam postings, up to ₹2.5L a month. Apply by 30 Sep 2026.

Faisalabad officers arrest eight more suspects a month after a 14.4-million-rupee case, as NCCIA steps up action against fraud targeting Pakistanis seeking jobs in Canada. The action targets scams that exploit Pakistanis seeking overseas employment opportunities, part of NCCIA's broader efforts to combat cyber-enabled immigration fraud through its Faisalabad regional unit.

79 suspects were apprehended in a transnational cybercrime scam centre operating in Lusaka, Zambia. Multiple Starlink terminals were seized in the operations. Authorities have indicated that the illegal setup was a national security threat. 11 Chinese nationals were apprehended in the operation.

Singapore Police Force’s Digital Disruption Centre sits under the new Cyber Command, launched on 3 July 2026 at Police Cantonment Complex, and is the unit tasked with finding and taking down online threats before they reach the public—scam sites and other scam enablers, ransomware and malware, and content that is racially or religiously inflammatory—using tools such as AI-assisted detection and powers under the Online Criminal Harms Act rather than waiting for victims to report after the fact.

Google built that licence-verification machinery in response to almost exactly this crisis in India, Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan between 2021 and 2023. It has not extended it to Bangladesh, a market of some 190 million people where every one of the preconditions — heavy microcredit demand, near-universal mobile wallets, and an app economy running well ahead of its regulator — is present.

A Lumen Database filing shows Google was asked to kill Gmail accounts used to impersonate Fubon Group chairman Cai Mingzhong and a Taichung mutual-aid chief. The pitch is almost polite: create a chat group, send the QR code, then “advance” a company payment. Police say one earlier run of the same script cost a firm about NT$17 million — and Taiwan’s anti-fraud law is now pulling Google into the fight on two fronts, mailboxes and ads.

Recent months have also seen several cases involving Chinese nationals arrested in Kenya on cyber-related charges. In July 2026, detectives arrested 18 Chinese nationals in a Kilimani apartment described as a suspected cyber fraud workstation, recovering phones, passports and cash.

Binding operational-technology (OT) rules for electricity exist in a handful of jurisdictions. Most of the world still runs plants on vendor advice, IEC 62443 contracts and national CERT circulars. That difference matters. A guideline can be ignored. A reliability standard or a critical-infrastructure statute can shut a control room or fine a board.

Technology has made cybercrime investigation extremely difficult. A successful investigator needs to master multiple skillset to compete with the criminal's anti-forensic & detection methods
