Cambodia strongly rebuts report on growing cybercrime sector
BANGKOK -- The Cambodian government has lambasted a report alleging the kingdom is the regional epicenter of a growing online crime industry in which mostly Chinese syndicates control up to 350,000 people and generate annual revenues estimated at between $50 billion and $75 billion.
