Police arrests 300 suspects linked to African cybercrime rings

INTERPOL's 'Operation Red Card' disrupted cross-border cybercriminal networks across seven African countries, resulting in 306 arrests, 1,842 devices seized, and thousands of victims affected by mobile banking, investment and messaging app scams, SIM box fraud, and malware spread via malicious links; the operation highlights use of social engineering, SIM-card infrastructure abuse, and device-compromise tactics and underscores international cooperation in combating large-scale online fraud.
