India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) recently arrested a man named Rahul Arora and seized over $327,000 worth of cryptocurrency, alongside $26,400 in cash, in a crackdown on a transnational cybercrime operation. The investigation revealed sophisticated social engineering tactics aimed at defrauding victims in the United States and Canada. The CBI conducted coordinated raids in New Delhi, uncovering advanced impersonation tools, including caller ID spoofing software and international calling devices. This bust highlights how cybercriminals exploit jurisdictional gaps to target foreign nationals, leading to enhanced international law enforcement cooperation. The CBI's efforts are part of a broader initiative called Chakra-V, aiming to combat cybercrime through digital forensics and virtual asset seizures. The agency has also devised systems for managing seized digital assets in other cases, reflecting a commitment to addressing the increasing challenges of cross-border cybercrime.
