Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The rise in cybercrime, which includes digital payment fraud, increases financial risk and operational costs for businesses in the region. Furthermore, increased cybercrime originating in Punjab could heighten anti-money laundering compliance risk monitored by the Financial Action Task Force.
