According to a statement released by the Anti-Cyber Scam Centre (ACSC), the second Joint Disruption Week officially concluded in Bangkok yesterday. The operation, held in partnership with the FBI, the US Department of Justice's Scam Center Strike Force, and law enforcement agencies from 10 countries, focused on expanding intelligence-sharing to dismantle online scam operations at their roots. "The operation was aimed at identifying and dismantling organised criminal scam networks operating at scale across Southeast Asia and beyond," ACSC said. According to the agency, Meta investigators disabled more than 150,000 accounts linked to scam networks during the duration of the operation. In a separate development, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES) said 437,473 illegal URLs have been successfully taken down since October.
