An indentured workforce refers to individuals compelled to work under exploitative conditions, often as a result of debt bondage, coercion, or deception. In the context of cybersecurity, this term can describe people trafficked or manipulated into performing cybercrimes or supporting cybercriminal operations. Such workers have little or no freedom, are frequently threatened, and may be forced to participate in illegal activities like phishing, data theft, or running scam operations. Their lack of autonomy and the coercive circumstances distinguish them from regular employees. Recognizing and addressing the use of indentured workforces is crucial for combating human trafficking and cybercrime.
