SPECIAL REPORT: POLITICAL CONNECTIONS IN AFRICAN CYBER-CRIME

   Mon, 20 March 2023

The accelerated digitalisation of African economies has acted as a major driver of socio-economic development, streamlining commercial processes and connecting more people into the formal economy through digital banking. At the same time, the rapid expansion of digital services has created new opportunities for cyber-criminals. In the last two years, Africa has rapidly become not only a base for a number of sophisticated politically-connected global cyber-crime syndicates, but increasingly also a target of these same groups.
