Thai authorities detect new cyber scam hub in Cambodia after Myanmar crackdown

“Thailand’s Anti-Cyber Scam Center (ACSC) has identified a new online fraud base in Cambodia, signaling a strategic relocation by criminal networks following the destruction of major hubs in Myanmar.”

“The new facility is located in Malai, Banteay Meanchey province, roughly 50 kilometers (31 miles) from the Thai border town of Poipet. The ACSC said the move follows a landmark joint operation between Thailand, China, and Myanmar that dismantled notorious ‘grey zone’ compounds including KK Park and Shwe Kokko in Myanmar.”

“The Malai complex consists of two-story buildings housing both workstations and living quarters near Malai Park, with evidence of ongoing expansion. Managed by Chinese nationals, the hub reportedly employs a multinational workforce—including Thais, Indians, and Indonesians—to target victims globally.”

“The discovery comes as the ACSC released fraud data for the week of Dec. 28, 2025, to Jan. 3, 2026. Thailand’s online police reporting platform recorded 6,369 cases during the period, with total losses exceeding 222 million baht ($7.1 million).”
