James, Ryan, and Sourov found themselves back at Dwip's apartment. They had been gathering information about Alex, and they were ready to take the next step.
"We need to get into Alex's phone," James said, his voice filled with determination. "He must know something about the scammers. Or it is also possible that he is one of the scammer."
Dwip nodded. "I can try to hack into his phone," he replied. "But it won't be easy. He probably has strong security measures in place."
"Do you need anything from us?" Ryan asked.
"Just give me his phone number," Dwip replied. "I'll take care of the rest."
James handed Dwip Alex's phone number. Dwip typed it into his computer and began to work.
A few hours later, Dwip looked up from his screen, a satisfied smile on his face. "I'm in," he said. "I managed to send him a malicious link. He clicked on it, and now I have access to his phone."
Malware (short for malicious software) refers to any type of software intentionally designed to cause damage, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to computer systems, networks, or devices. Malware can take various forms and can include viruses, worms, trojans, ransomware, spyware, adware, and more. Its primary intent is often malicious, aiming to steal sensitive information, gain control over systems, or cause harm to data and devices. Users typically encounter malware through infected files, malicious websites, or vulnerabilities in software that allow unauthorized access or execution of harmful code.

James and Sourov exchanged excited glances. This was a major breakthrough.
"Now what?" Ryan asked.
"We need to search through his files and messages," Dwip replied. "See if we can find anything related to the scammers."
They spent the next few hours sifting through Alex's data. They found evidence of his involvement in the scam operation. He was communicating with the mastermind, receiving instructions and reporting on his progress.
With the damning evidence in their hands, James, Ryan, and Sourov found themselves at a crossroads. They had finally uncovered the truth about Alex's involvement in the online scam, but the question remained: how to proceed?
"We should confront him directly," James suggested, his voice filled with determination. "Blackmail him into revealing everything he knows about the organization."
Ryan and Sourov exchanged worried glances. "That's risky," Ryan said. "Once he realizes we're on to him, he might try to retaliate."
James nodded. "You're right," he admitted. "We need to be careful. They might try to ambush us at any moment."
After much deliberation, they decided on a more cautious approach. They would gather more evidence and build a solid case against Alex and the organization. Then, they would contact the police, providing them with irrefutable proof of the scam operation.
But before they could take any further action, they needed to ensure their own safety. They decided to increase their vigilance, always keeping an eye out for suspicious activity.
