🚨 INTERPOL report finds AI linked to more than half of cybercrime in Africa
Cyberattacks are becoming faster, more scalable, and increasingly difficult for victims and platforms to detect, according to INTERPOL’s African Cyberthreat Assessment Report 2026.
The report points to a major shift: cybercrime has evolved into an industrialized, borderless ecosystem.
Key findings include:
🔵 55% of cybercrimes reported in Africa are AI-enabled.
🔵 Online scams are the most frequently reported form of cybercrime.
🔵 Financial services, telecoms, and government institutions are the hardest hit.
🔵 Cybercrime-related financial losses have more than doubled since 2024, rising to USD 484 million.
🔵 72% of surveyed countries reported scam centres, with the highest concentration in Southern and West Africa.
🔵 Criminals are bypassing biometric checks by creating AI-generated synthetic identities that combine real personal data with fabricated elements.

Please look at this audacity.
Mr Akinsanya, a Nigerian citizen, first entered SA on 12 November 2014 on a 10-day visitor's visa expiring on 22 November 2014. He did not leave the country when his visa expired but instead, applied for a work visa while in SA. This is not allowed as one cannot convert a visitor’s visa to a work visa, and if another visa is required, this must be applied for from the country of origin and not from within SA.

It’s 2026
This year, a massive number of rap and R&B records become eligible for termination.
That means songwriters and artists finally have the legal right to reclaim their publishing and their masters.
If you know any of these songwriters or artists, tag them in this post.
This represents what could be the largest transfer of wealth to Black people in the history of the music industry.
But…
If you do not terminate your publishing and your masters within the legal window, you lose that right forever.
These labels and publishers will NOT tell you this but I will.
