**Executive summary:** This report analyzes the rise of pig butchering-as-a-service (PBaaS) providers in Southeast Asia, profiling actors such as Penguin (selling stolen PII, social accounts, SIMs, SCRM tools and laundering/payment services) and UWORK (CRM/platform templates used to run fake investment sites), documents how these commoditized services enable large-scale romance and investment fraud (including a CRM linked to a US indictment for >US$13M), and recommends focusing disruption on service providers, financial enablers, and DNS/infrastructure to curb the epidemic.
