Q. Recently, the central government has collaborated with which company to block more than 1000 skype IDs used in the Digital Arrest scam?
Answer:
Microsoft
Notes: The central government, in partnership with Microsoft, blocked over 1,000 Skype IDs linked to the Digital Arrest scam. Victims are coerced into staying visible on video calls, resembling police interrogations, until they comply with criminals' demands. Perpetrators impersonate law enforcement agencies and use AI to mimic victims' family members' voices. Intelligence agencies believe this is part of an organized online crime racket involving cross-border syndicates, sourcing victims' phone numbers from online databases or corrupt bank employees.
