THE rising number of cybercrime cases is becoming a cause for concern among businesses and residents in the UAE, with institutions and individuals losing millions of dirhams to scammers every year.
The UAE is determined to demolish the rising threat of cybercriminals operating across the country.
In the emirate of Ajman alone, hundreds of cybercriminals were arrested and several individuals were rescued in a single night. With operation extended until the early hours of the morning.
A similar crackdown took place across Dubai.
The syndicates recruited thousands of individuals from Asia and Africa under the pretense of working as telesales agents and expert hackers.
The cybercriminals confessed to defrauding hundreds of people every day and gaining thousands of Dirhams in profits for their illegal activity.
An investigation to uncover the backgrounds of the suspects arrested in the latest operation is still ongoing.
