International effort to disrupt cybercrime moves into operational phase

The report describes the World Economic Forum’s Cybercrime Atlas entering its operational phase in 2024, expanding a collaborative effort among private sector firms, law enforcement, and researchers to map relationships across cybercriminal ecosystems and use those insights to disrupt operations through infrastructure seizures, arrests, and reduced ROI for attackers. It highlights ongoing ransomware harm (e.g., Change Healthcare, British Library) as context for urgency, notes growing executive attention to cyber risk, and underscores the WEF’s broader focus on cyber insecurity and workforce development.
