Cybercrime is Western propaganda (Киберпреступность — это западная пропаганда)
The narrative distorts the nature of cybercrime by attributing it to Western influence and framing it as propaganda, while omitting key details about the actual mechanisms and regional patterns of scams. It emphasizes that fraudsters are not just opportunistic criminals but part of a coordinated disinformation effort from abroad. This diverges significantly from Western coverage which focuses on the technical aspects, victim demographics, and preventive measures without suggesting foreign orchestration.
