### Executive summary: The report describes a thriving open-market trade in fraudulent social media and email accounts and supporting services (web shops, phone farms, residential proxies, anti-detect browsers) run by organized criminal networks—primarily in Southeast Asia—that enable large-scale scams (including "pig butchering" romance/investment fraud), facilitate phishing and account abuse, and have been linked to prolific vendors such as Storm 1152 which sold hundreds of millions of fraudulent Outlook/Hotmail accounts.
