Africa cybercrime operation leads to mass arrests

22 October 2026 · Source: interpol.int

Law enforcement agencies from 21 countries took part in a major cybercrime operation across Africa that led to 1,462 arrests, the disruption of 10,909 malicious networks, and the recovery of more than USD 105 million in illicit funds. The effort targeted fraud, ransomware, business email compromise, online scams, and digital extortion, with investigators identifying tens of thousands of victims and linking the activity to losses of more than USD 385 million. For businesses, this shows how quickly email based fraud and related scams can spread across borders and drain money from victims. Sender Registry helps companies spot suspicious senders, reduce the risk of impersonation and phishing, and add an extra layer of protection before fraudulent messages reach staff or customers.
