UNODC and UNDP held a three-day cybercrime prevention training in Tashkent to strengthen Uzbekistan’s response to online threats against youth. The programme equips professionals with modern tools, fosters digital literacy, and promotes safer online behaviour as part of a UN-backed initiative to build national resilience.
The UNODC has warned that the global cyber scam industry, which originated in Southeast Asia, has spread to other regions, including South America, Africa, and Eastern Europe. These criminal networks are exploiting vulnerable populations and causing billions in losses, posing a growing threat to financial systems and international security.
