African Cyberthreat Assessment Report 2023: Cyberthreat Trends

This report provides a comprehensive overview of cyberthreat trends in the African region in 2022. The data for drafting it was drawn from INTERPOL’s member countries, private partners, and research conducted by the Africa Cybercrime Operations Desk.

Some of the most relevant threats identified within the report are:

  • Business Email Compromise
  • Phishing
  • Ransomware attacks
  • Banking Trojan and Stealers
  • Online Scams
  • Cyber Extorsion
  • Crimeware-as-a-service

Under the mandate of reducing the global impact of cybercrime and protecting communities for a safer world, the INTERPOL Africa Cybercrime Operations Desk, as part of the AFJOC project, aims to use this threat assessment as a basis to drive intelligence- led, coordinated action against cybercrime and its perpetrators in African member countries.
