Interpol Arrests 1,462 Cybercriminals in Africa

Interpol's third Operation Serengeti sweep resulted in 1,462 arrests across 20 African countries and the US, recovering $105 million in stolen funds. The operation targeted ransomware, phishing, and fraud, shutting down nearly 11,000 malicious networks. Investigations matured with better intelligence sharing, though 72% of African nations still host scam centers and 47% of cases involve AI usage.
