Transnational Fraud Network Exposed Through AI-Powered Digital Forensics
A transnational fraud and recruitment-linked operation spanning India, Thailand, and Myanmar was investigated through forensic analysis of three mobile devices.
Faced with deleted data, cross-border communication trails, VPN masking, and alias-based activity, investigators required more than device extraction, they needed unified intelligence reconstruction.
Using Argus, fragmented digital evidence was transformed into structured, actionable intelligence.
