[snoop1130]

 

Amidst growing concerns over online fraud, the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES), in unison with the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB) police and other associated agencies, is launching an Anti Online Scam Operation Centre (AOC).

 

The AOC, which begins its operations on November 1, is set to function as a war room, implementing technology to provide intelligent assistance, collecting and analysing relevant data pertaining to online scams.

 

The DES Minister, Prasert Jantararuangthong, emphasised the AOC as a proactive step towards addressing the challenges faced by the public in the realm of online fraud. The intent is to immediately freeze any financial accounts implicated in fraudulent activities within an hour of a victim’s notification.
