Kaspersky has recently assisted its partner law enforcement agencies INTERPOL and AFRIPOL in a joint effort to disrupt cybercrime across the African region. Dubbed “Serengeti,” the operation has led to the arrest of more than 1,000 individuals suspected of links to cybercrimes such as ransomware operation and business email compromise (BEC) attacks, resulting in nearly US $193 million in financial losses worldwide.
Africa rapid digitization has escalated cybercrime threats, with ransomware targeting critical sectors like financial institutions and manufacturing. In the first 10 months of 2024, Kaspersky detected over 165,000 ransomware attacks in the region. INTERPOL 2024 Africa Cyber Threat Assessment Report highlighted ransomware, BEC attacks, and online scams as prominent threats. Operation Serengeti (Sept 2–Oct 31) dismantled 134,089 malicious infrastructures and identified 35,000+ cybercrime victims. Kaspersky contributed by sharing data on ransomware, malware, and IoCs, including new findings on the Brazilian banking trojan Grandoreiro. Ransomware families like LockBit, Rhysida, and Medusa were also identified in African attacks.
Valdecy Urquiza, Secretary General of INTERPOL, said: “From multi-level marketing scams to credit card fraud on an industrial scale, the increasing volume and sophistication of cybercrime attacks is of serious concern. Operation Serengeti shows what we can achieve by working together, and these arrests alone will save countless potential future victims from real personal and financial pain. We know that this is just the tip of the iceberg, which is why we will continue targeting these criminal groups worldwide.”
Ambassador Jalel Chelba, AFRIPOL Acting Executive Director said, “Through Serengeti, AFRIPOL has significantly enhanced support for law enforcement in African Union Member States. We have facilitated key arrests and deepened insights into cybercrime trends. Our focus now includes emerging threats like AI-driven malware and advanced attack techniques.”
“We are proud to contribute to this multi-stakeholder operation orchestrated by INTERPOL and AFRIPOL,” comments Yuliya Shlychkova, Vice President, Global Public Affairs, Kaspersky. “The emerging dynamics of the threat landscape in Africa requires a stronger regional dialogue on mitigating acute cybersecurity risks. Kaspersky firmly supports INTERPOL and AFRIPOL efforts to prevent and disrupt cybercrime attacks across Africa, and shares the holistic approach towards creating a more cyber-resilient environment within the continent.”
