A 13-year-old girl in Karachi was rescued by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) after being instructed by an online group to poison a cat and harm herself. The rescue was prompted by intelligence from an international agency that provided IP addresses linked to the network, which spanned 13 countries. Investigators traced the IP address to the girl, who was unaware of the dangers of her online interactions. Her parents had noticed behavioral changes over six months but were unaware of her online activities. The NCCIA is now investigating the wider network and whether other children have been targeted. No arrests have been made yet, and the investigation continues.
