The "Stopping Cross-border Attacks and Manipulation Act," or "SCAM Act," mandates the Secretary of Defense, through U.S. Cyber Command, to establish a joint task force . This task force is charged with coordinating efforts to investigate, disrupt, and protect United States citizens from transnational cybercrimes and foreign-operated scam networks, including digital fraud schemes targeting Americans. The task force will comprise officials from various federal agencies, including the Departments of State, Defense, Treasury, and Justice, as well as the FTC, FCC, ODNI, and FBI, alongside state/local government and non-profit representatives. A key priority for this task force is addressing scam operations with documented ties to the Chinese Communist Party in the Indo-Pacific region, which are estimated to cause billions in losses and pose national security threats. Within one year, the task force must submit a comprehensive report to Congress. This report will identify emerging trends in international criminal organizations' scam operations, recommend policy options such as sanctions and cyber actions, and propose a framework for a whole-of-society approach to support affected demographic groups and localities. The task force is also responsible for assisting in the implementation of its recommendations, with its authority set to sunset five years after the report's submission.
