Police in Papua New Guinea (PNG) have raided an online scam operation believed to have moved from Cambodia following a crackdown there. Four Chinese nationals were charged with human trafficking after 39 Indonesian workers were rescued from a luxury villa in Port Moresby. The operation targeted Indonesian victims online and is PNG's first such case, highlighting the vulnerability of Pacific Island nations to transnational cybercrime. Authorities are still searching for the main suspect and are working with Australian counterparts to investigate further.
