联合国毒品和犯罪问题办公室发布报告揭示，以东南亚为基地的跨国犯罪集团正通过集成网络和先进技术在全球范围内扩大非法经济活动 [1]。
报告指出，2025年诈骗造成的全球经济损失估计在883亿至1141亿美元之间 [1]。东南亚及周边国家的非法药物年销售额更高达1090亿美元 [1]。犯罪集团利用人工智能、加密货币等技术手段推进其运营 [1]。
儿童安全问题令人担忧。该办公室研究员Inshik Sim指出，"AI生成的儿童性虐待图像通过加密通讯平台大量传播" [1]，这反映了性剥削和虐待内容制作的严峻现状 [1]。
尽管国际执法行动取得一定成效，全球犯罪网络的韧性依然存在。该办公室反恐官员Seong Jae Shin表示，打击行动"摧毁了部分诈骗中心，但运营并未停止，而是转入地下或移至其他地区" [1]。
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime has released a report documenting how transnational criminal networks based in Southeast Asia are using integrated digital infrastructure and advanced technologies to extend their illegal operations worldwide.[1] The groups employ artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, and encrypted communications platforms to facilitate their activities across borders.[1]
According to the report, fraudulent schemes alone caused estimated losses of between $88.3 billion and $114.1 billion in 2025.[1] The criminal networks have also generated approximately $109 billion in annual illicit drug sales across Southeast Asia and neighboring countries.[1]
A particular concern highlighted in the report involves the exploitation of children. Inshik Sim, a researcher at the UN office, noted that AI-generated child sexual abuse imagery is being distributed widely through encrypted messaging platforms.[1] These materials represent a severe threat to child safety and represent a growing dimension of organized criminal activity.
Despite intensified enforcement efforts by multiple countries that have dismantled some fraud operations, the criminal infrastructure remains operational. Seong Jae Shin, a counterterrorism official at the UN office, stated that while crackdowns have destroyed certain fraud centers, the operations have not ceased but have instead moved underground or relocated to other regions.[1] The resilience and adaptability of these networks underscore the challenge posed by globally connected criminal enterprises that continue to exploit technological advances to sustain and expand their unlawful enterprises.
