City police busted an illegal payment gateway aggregator known as ‘Peace Pay’ following a tip-off from central agencies. Peace Pay was not authorised by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and was providing services to several betting and investment scam websites.

According to the cops, the operation revealed that some Indian nationals were masquerading as Chinese nationals to run such call centres involved in fraudulent activities.

City police chief Shankabrata Bagchi on Thursday said that upon receiving information from central agencies that a call centre was being operated by Indian individuals under the control of Chinese nationals engaged in various scam, including stock market scams, task-based scams, and betting apps, the cops dismantled the call centre and conducted discreet inquiries. Seven persons including four women and three men were arrested in connection with the case. The primary suspects, identified as Sai Ram and Girish, were found to be at the helm of this elaborate scam.

Authorities seized a staggering array of equipment and assets during the raids, including, 135 unregistered SIM cards, 65 mobile phones, one desktop computer, nine laptops, eight CPUs, nine monitors, five TRX hardware devices, 699 bank accounts with cheque books, one motorcycle, one car and three gold rings.

Police said that the operation was disguised under the pretext of being a cosmetic distribution company, while it was primarily focused on facilitating unauthorised betting and investment scams. The payment gateway was reportedly used for various fraudulent activities without the requisite approval from the RBI.

The cops conducted raids at two locations and apprehended four women and three men who were managing computers, mobile devices, and other equipment-linked to cyber fraud and illegal betting operations at one location. The second location yielded numerous unregistered SIM cards, debit cards, cash counting machines, and cheque-books.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
