As a result of operational-search measures carried out based on monitoring conducted by the Regional DIA's Department for Combating Crimes in the Field of Information Technology and citizens' appeals, another cybercrime was exposed.

 

It was revealed that a person born in 2004, residing in the Bukhara region, downloaded charity videos posted on the Instagram social network on behalf of sick children and re-edited them. He altered the bank card numbers in the original videos, replacing them with other card details, and had been illegally appropriating funds sent by citizens.
