The United Nations warns that previously independent cybercrime groups in Southeast Asia have begun to operate like franchises, with industrial-scale operations, shared financial networks, AI usage, and expertise in evading law enforcement.

These groups are not dismantled by law enforcement actions but rather relocate and resurface in other regions.
