European police have dismantled a vishing gang that defrauded victims of $9 million. The gang operated from call centers in Ukraine, impersonating bank staff and police officers to trick victims into transferring funds to controlled accounts. Ten suspects were arrested and homes, vehicles, and call centers were searched. Vishing attacks, which combine voice phishing with email phishing, are on the rise. The fraud scheme attracted the attention of the authorities, prompting a joint investigation by Eurojust, Czechia, and Ukrainian authorities. Hashtags: #vishing #fraudgang #Europol #policecrackdown
