The scenario is set in a fictitious country, Ambrosia, where SafeCom are the main telecommunications provider. Safecom recently became majority-owned by a global telco, headquartered in Denver, Americas.

The technical challenges are amplified by widely publicised news of cyber crime nearly claiming the life of Amina, a local restaurant owner in Ambrosia, who is claiming that she had been a
victim of banking fraud...
