🚨 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.

Shukrani kwa Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu mwingi wa rehema kwa siku hii kubwa na muhimu kwangu, kwa Watanzania na kwa Taifa letu, ambapo nimeapa kuwa Rais wa Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania. Ahsante kwa Watanzania wote kwa imani kubwa kwangu na kwa Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) kwa ridhaa ya kuendelea na kazi ya kulitumikia Taifa letu.
Uchaguzi umekamilika na sasa tunarejea kwenye kazi ya kuijenga nchi yetu. Kama ambavyo sote tunafahamu, nguzo muhimu ya mafanikio ya Taifa letu ni amani. Tutaendelea kuweka mkazo katika kudumisha nguzo hii muhimu, na kamwe hatutokuwa na muhali na yeyote atakayejaribu kuivunja, kwani huyo atakuwa si mwenzetu na huo si Utanzania.
Mungu atubariki sote.
Mungu Ibariki Tanzania.

Very strong statement by the Belgian and Spanish Prime Ministers, saving Europe from a complete moral and strategic collapse (this statement was given AFTER they met with Netanyahu):
- International law MUST be respected
- Killing of civilians MUST stop
- The destruction of Gaza is UNACCEPTABLE
- There is NO military solution to this conflict
- There is only a political solution.
- We need to stop settler violence in the West Bank
