Operation Sentinel, coordinated by Interpol, led to the arrest of 574 individuals and the recovery of $3 million tied to various cybercrimes, including business email compromise and ransomware. Conducted over a month, this operation involved law enforcement from 19 countries and resulted in the removal of over 6,000 malicious links and the decryption of six ransomware strains. The cases investigated are linked to more than $21 million in financial losses. Notable achievements included halting a $7.9 million wire transfer in Senegal aimed at a petroleum company, and in Ghana, law enforcement recovered 30 TB of data from a ransomware attack that initially encrypted 100 TB. A cross-border scam in Ghana and Nigeria defrauded over 200 victims of more than $400,000, leading to ten arrests and the seizure of numerous devices. In Benin, authorities arrested 106 suspects and shut down thousands of scam-linked accounts. Cameroon saw a swift response to an online vehicle sales scam, resulting in an emergency bank freeze. Interpol's Director of Cybercrime, Neal Jetton, pointed out the increasing scale and sophistication of cyberattacks in Africa, particularly targeting critical sectors like finance and energy. The operation showcased effective collaboration between African law enforcement and international partners, including private sector organizations like Team Cymru and Trend Micro, which provided critical support in tracing cybercrime activities. Earlier initiatives, such as Operation Serengeti 2.0, yielded even larger results, with 1,209 arrests and the recovery of $97.4 million in illicit funds. Another operation, Operation Red Card, resulted in 306 arrests and disrupted scams affecting over 5,000 victims. These combined efforts highlight a concerted international strategy to combat cybercrime on a significant scale.
