Kaspersky Lab announced its participation in Interpol's operation to catch criminals in 25 African countries – this operation began in April 2023 and lasted four months.
Kaspersky Lab assisted Interpol in combating cybercrime in 25 African countries, resulting in the arrest of 14 people and the identification of network infrastructure that led to financial losses of $40 million.
The Russian company provided Interpol with indicators of compromise (IoC), including information about malicious servers, phishing links and domains, as well as fraudulent IP addresses.
Kaspersky Lab assisted Interpol by providing it with threat data during Operation Africa Cyber Surge II. This allowed investigators to discover compromised infrastructure and detain perpetrators suspected of committing cybercrimes in Africa.
Kaspersky and Interpol have been cooperating since 2019.
