About this old article:
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ukraine-arrests-fraud-ring-members-who-made-200-million-per-year/

Seems like nothing has changed in 2024.  A company of 150 employees in Kiev are targeting Canadians in an investment fraud.  Why?  They are gullible it seems, even being stolen from repeatedly.  Employees are specifically hired to work during Canada's time zones.  They still lure hundreds of millions.  From the hidden camera footage I've seen, it's disconcerting to see how condescend these crooks are.

I'll update this post if I find a 2024 English article about this.

Welcome to the modern era of cyber crime and fraud.  It shouldnt surprise you with malware campaigns from APT teams that consist of state sponsored hackers, sem-state sponsored hackers, and those that do it just because they can much like Anonymous.  Its not just Canadians that gullible.
