Chinese authorities have sentenced nine individuals to prison terms ranging from five to fourteen years for orchestrating a telecommunications fraud scheme that defrauded 66,800 Indian victims of 517 million Indian rupees, equivalent to approximately $6 million in USDT. The scam operated through fabricated investment platforms and social media, luring victims with promises of high returns.

In a separate incident, the Harbin Public Security Bureau in China has issued a wanted notice for three agents from the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) accused of cyberattacks during the Asian Winter Games held in Harbin. The NSA agents, identified as Katheryn A. Wilson, Robert J. Snelling, and Stephen W. Johnson, are suspected of targeting critical information systems and infrastructure, including those of the Games and other sectors in Heilongjiang Province. The cyberattacks allegedly involved the transmission of encrypted bytes to devices running Microsoft Windows, aiming to activate backdoors, and targeted Huawei, critical infrastructure, causing potential social disorder and stealing confidential information.
