Bangladesh’s growing digital landscape has become fertile ground for cybercrime, with gambling-related fraud emerging as a significant concern. As illicit gambling activities expand online, they bring with them a wave of scams and data breaches.
The Link Between Gambling and Cybercrime
- Phishing Attacks: Fake gambling sites are stealing users’ personal and financial data.
- Money Laundering: Illegal gambling platforms are used to launder illicit earnings, making tracking funds difficult.
- Hacking Incidents: Users of gambling apps often report unauthorized access to their accounts.
Law Enforcement and Regulatory Actions
The Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has begun blocking gambling websites, but new platforms continue to emerge. Experts recommend:
- Strengthening cybersecurity infrastructure.
- Training law enforcement in digital forensics.
- Collaborating with global organizations to trace international gambling networks.
