Interpol said Operation Serengeti III, supported by Kaspersky, led to the arrest of 1,462 suspects over an international cybercrime crackdown. Kaspersky provided threat intelligence data and technical analysis to INTERPOL, while the operation ran from June 29 to Aug. 31. Law enforcement agencies from 20 African countries and the United States took part, recovering $105 million in criminal proceeds and identifying 66,000 victims. The third year of the operation targeted cross-border criminal groups behind ransomware, business email compromise, online fraud, and digital extortion. Authorities estimated financial damage at $385 million. Kaspersky helped investigators from the preparation stage through its threat research center, delivering information on network infrastructure used for botnets and distributed denial-of-service attacks. The company also provided data on phishing and malicious URLs targeting users in Africa. As part of the crackdown, about 11,000 malicious networks linked to cybercrime were blocked. Results were reported by country. In Uganda, authorities dismantled two transnational criminal groups running online investment and pension scams and arrested 365 foreign suspects. In Angola, two illegal cryptocurrency mining facilities were uncovered and nine suspects were arrested. In Nigeria, a suspect behind a large-scale phishing and business email compromise scheme was arrested after stealing software account authentication information and obtaining about 2.1 million email addresses. In an international investment fraud case promoted via a messaging app, one suspect was also arrested. INTERPOL is carrying out follow-up investigations, with law enforcement identifying additional suspects, tracing illegal revenue flows, and analyzing digital evidence. Neil Jutton, head of INTERPOL's cybercrime directorate, said cybercrime groups exploit technology across borders to target victims at unprecedented scale, adding that international cooperation helps disrupt criminal networks and recover criminal proceeds.
