Former US execs plead guilty to aiding tech support scammers

Two former executives of C.A.Cloud Attribution, Ltd. pleaded guilty to concealing and facilitating a years-long tech-support fraud operation that used deceptive pop-up ads, remote access, and fraudulent invoices to extort victims—frequently elderly—worldwide. Prosecutors say the executives knowingly provided call-tracking, rotating phone-number pools, sales support to market services to fraudsters, and introductions between criminals; the case is part of a broader trend documented by the FBI showing millions lost to tech-support scams.
