Huquqni muhofaza qiluvchi organlar Operation Serengeti III operatsiyasi doirasida deyarli 11 000 kiberjinoyatchilik tarmog'ini to'xtatdi va 1 400 dan ortiq shaxsni hibsga oldi. Operatsiya biznes elektron pochta buzilishi, to'lov dasturlari (ransomware) va onlayn firibgarliklarga qarshi qaratilgan edi.
Interpol tomonidan muvofiqlashtirilgan operatsiyada 21 mamlakat vakillari va Team Cymru, Kaspersky, Group-IB va Fortinet kabi xususiy hamkorlar ishtirok etdi. Bu Afrika bo'ylab kiberjinoyatchilikka qarshi keng ko'lamli kurash bo'ldi.
Harakat 29-iyundan 31-avgustgacha davom etdi va natijada 105 million dollardan ortiq noqonuniy mablag'lar qaytarib olindi.
Bugun e'lon qilingan matbuot bayonotida Interpol Operation Serengeti III natijasida 1 462 gumonlanuvchi kiberjinoyatchi hibsga olingani va 10 909 zararli tarmoq yo'q qilingani haqida ma'lum qildi.
Tergov 65 929 jabrlanuvchini aniqladi va moliyaviy yo'qotishlar 385 million dollardan ortiq deb baholandi.
Ugandada huquqni muhofaza qiluvchilar ikki transmilliy firibgarlik guruhini yo'q qildi va onlayn investitsiya va pensiya firibgarlik operatsiyalari bilan bog'liq gumon bilan 365 shaxsni hibsga oldi.
Operatsiyaning yana bir muhim natijasi — Angoladagi noqonuniy kriptovalyuta qazish markazlari. U yerda to'qqiz gumonlanuvchi hibsga olindi va 2 000 dan ortiq qazish qurilmasi musodara qilindi.
Shuningdek, Nigeriyada bir shaxs hibsga olindi. U "keng ko'lamli fishing va biznes elektron pochta buzilishi operatsiyasini" boshqarganlikda gumon qilinmoqda. U dasturiy ta'minot ma'lumotlarini o'g'irlab, taxminan 2,1 million elektron pochta manzilini to'plagan.
Interpol ta'kidlashicha, Operation Serengeti III harakatlari zararli mobil kredit ilovalari, firibgar avtomobil importlari va kriptovalyuta investitsiya firibgarliklariga ham ta'sir ko'rsatdi.
Team Cymru va boshqa xususiy kiberxavfsizlik firmalari operatsiyani qo'llab-quvvatladi. Ular gumonli domenlar, IP manzillar va buyruq va nazorat (C2) infratuzilmasi haqida ma'lumot va texnik ekspertiza taqdim etib, tergovchilarga jinoyatchilik tarmoqlarini xaritalash va gumonlanuvchilarni aniqlashda yordam berdi.
"Internet miqyosida hujumchi infratuzilmasini ko'rish qobiliyati himoyachilarga tubdan boshqacha boshlang'ich nuqta beradi. Hujumni kutib, keyin zararni tekshirish o'rniga, biz jinoyatchilik operatsiyalari ortidagi tarmoqlarni fosh etishga yordam bera olamiz va himoya harakatlarini amalga oshirishga imkon beramiz", — dedi Team Cymru'ning Global Ma'lumot Hamkorligi bo'yicha vitse-prezidenti Jakomo Pikkolini.
Birinchi Operation Serengeti 2024-yil sentabr-oktabr oylarida 19 Afrika mamlakatida o'tkazilgan edi. Uning natijasida 1 006 hibs, 134 089 zararli infratuzilma va tarmoqning yo'q qilinishi hamda taxminan 44 million dollar qaytarib olindi.
2025-yil iyun-avgust oylarida o'tkazilgan va Afrika bo'ylab qaratilgan Operation Serengeti 2.0 natijasida 1 209 hibs, 11 432 zararli infratuzilmaning yo'q qilinishi va 97,4 million dollar musodara qilindi.
Hujumchilar haqiqiy ma'lumotlarga ega bo'lgach, ularning harakatlarining atigi 37 foizi to'xtatiladi
Umumiy oldini olish ko'rsatkichlari dastlabki kirishdan keyin sodir bo'ladigan narsalarni yashirishi mumkin. Hujumchilar haqiqiy ma'lumotlardan foydalangach, oldini olish keskin pasayadi.
The Blue Report 2026 himoyalarni texnika bo'yicha o'lchaydi — mijozlarning ishlab chiqarish muhitlarida o'tkazilgan 338 million simulyatsiya asosida.

Law enforcement agencies have disrupted nearly 11,000 cybercriminal networks and arrested more than 1,400 people in Operation Serengeti III, which targeted business email compromise, ransomware, and online scams.
Coordinated by Interpol, the operation involved authorities from 21 countries and private partners like Team Cymru, Kaspersky, Group-IB, and Fortinet, in a major crackdown on cybercrime across Africa.
The action unrolled between June 29 and August 31 and led to the recovery of more than $105 million in illegal funds.
In a press release today, Interpol says that Operation Serengeti III has resulted in the arrest of 1,462 suspected cybercriminals and the dismantling of 10,909 malicious networks.
The investigation identified 65,929 victims and estimated financial losses at more than $385 million.
In Uganda, law enforcement dismantled two transnational fraud rings and arrested 365 individuals for suspected links to online investment and pension fraud operations.
Another highlight of the operation are illegal cryptocurrency mining centers in Angola, where nine suspects have been arrested, and more than 2,000 mining devices have been seized.
Authorities also arrested one individual in Nigeria, suspected of running "a large-scale phishing and business email compromise operation that harvested software credentials and amassed approximately 2.1 million email addresses."
Interpol notes that Operation Serengeti III actions also impacted malicious mobile lending applications, fraudulent vehicle imports, and cryptocurrency investment scams.
Team Cymru and other private cybersecurity firms supported the operation by providing intelligence and technical expertise, including key information on suspicious domains, IP addresses, and command-and-control (C2) infrastructure, helping investigators map criminal networks and identify suspects.
"Our ability to see attacker infrastructure at internet scale gives defenders a fundamentally different starting point. Instead of waiting for an attack and then investigating the damage, we can help expose the networks behind criminal operations and can enable defensive actions," said Jacomo Piccolini, Team Cymru's VP of Global Data Partnerships.
The first Operation Serengeti, conducted across 19 African countries between September and October 2024, resulted in 1,006 arrests, the takedown of 134,089 malicious infrastructures and networks, and the recovery of roughly $44 million.
Operation Serengeti 2.0, conducted between June and August 2025 and also focused on Africa, resulted in 1,209 arrests, the dismantling of 11,432 malicious infrastructures, and the seizure of $97.4 million.
Once attackers have valid credentials, only 37% of their actions are blocked
Overall prevention scores can hide what happens after initial access. Once attackers are using valid credentials, prevention drops sharply.
The Blue Report 2026 measures defenses technique by technique across 338 million simulations run in customer production environments.
