NCCIA Reveals People Behind Illegal Call Centres in Pakistan

The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) in Pakistan has exposed the identities of individuals behind illegal call centre operations and the sale of sensitive government data to foreign entities, according to recent disclosures. Chinese, Vietnamese, and Myanmar nationals have been identified as part of these fraudulent activities, with some individuals entering the country on visit visas and already being flagged by authorities in their home nations.

The Senate IT committee was informed about a gang that allegedly obtained and sold sensitive information of senior government officials to overseas buyers. Prior investigations by the NCCIA have uncovered call records, CNICs, and passports of key government officials, with some funds being recovered and returned to victims. The agency has also highlighted flaws in Pakistan's visa screening process and called for enhanced collaboration between government agencies and financial regulators to combat organized cybercrime.
