14 Suspected Cybercriminals Arrested in Africa in Coordinated Crackdown

INTERPOL announces the successful execution of two operations against cybercrime in Africa.

The first operation, which took place in April 2023, focused on identifying cybercriminals and compromised infrastructure.

It led to the arrest of 14 suspected criminals.

The agency said it has also identified 3,786 command-and-control servers, 14,134 victim IP addresses, and over 400 malicious URLs, IPs, and botnets.

Group-IB, one of the private sector partners involved, said it identified domains, URLs, and server IP addresses used in phishing and malware attacks.

This latest development comes in the wake of the Africa Cyber Surge operation launched in July 2022 to combat cybercrime and identify compromised infrastructure in the continent.
