Description

This webinar explores the rapidly expanding crime of cyber slavery—an emerging form of trafficking in which individuals are lured, coerced, or sold into online scam compounds to carry out large-scale cyber fraud. Participants will learn how organized criminal networks recruit victims, the conditions they endure, and how cyber scamming schemes operate. The session will also highlight prevention strategies, and what communities, institutions, and individuals can do to identify risks and promote safety online.
