Cybercrime incident

In June 2023, an LJ University professor unwillingly forwarded message that appeared to belong to a prominent group. The job opportunity message was sent to a number of LJ University students. About 60 engineering students paid 1,250 (US$15) each for purported trainee engineer positions at a power generation company. The students made the payments via QR code after receiving links to job offers that turned out to be fraudulent. The university later filed a First Information Report (FIR) with the cybercrime branch.[3][4]
