Executive summary The second year of the Cybercrime Atlas shows the impact of taking a systematic approach to the disruption of cybercrime. An effective model of collaboration In a world where cyber defenders often work in isolation, the Cybercrime Atlas gives experts and organizations a platform to multiply the impact of their individual efforts. This provides a path towards the systematic disruption of cybercriminal activities. Since the first Cybercrime Atlas Impact Report 2024 , the Cybercrime Atlas community has progressed from delivering research to applying it to the disruption of cybercrime networks at scale. Cybercrime Atlas research has consequences for criminals In 2024-2025, the Cybercrime Atlas was a partner for operations Serengeti and Serengeti 2.0,1 two major cross- border actions coordinated by the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) and the African Union Mechanism for Police Cooperation (AFRIPOL). Each of these operations was high-impact, leading to arrests, infrastructure confiscations and asset seizures. Satisfyingly, there was a clear deepening of the disruption to criminals’ infrastructure, funding and ability to evade arrest from one operation to the next.2 The increase in the Cybercrime Atlas’s impact was facilitated by a gradual expansion of expert participation in the community, including an expansion into Latin America and Asia Pacific, and a wider range of specialist tool providers. This increased the diversity of expertise and skills, enhancing research and the community’s ability to act on it. Findings from 2024-2025 suggest that there truly is strength in diversity of expertise once structures are in place to harness it. Accelerating collaboration Lessons learnt from the Cybercrime Atlas community contributed heavily to the recommendations of the World Economic Forum Partnership Against Cybercrime’s Disrupting Cybercrime Networks: A Collaboration Framework .3 Based on this Partnership Against Cybercrime framework, the Cybercrime Atlas community built and delivered pre-operation training to cybercrime unit commanders, prosecutors and policy-makers on harnessing non-government expertise. This has supported public-sector decision-makers across more than 40 countries in Asia, South-East Europe and the Americas, and strengthened communication channels between private- and public-sector organizations in these regions. Cybercrime Atlas partnership with the public sector The Cybercrime Atlas’s public-sector relationships rely on hubs of expertise such as INTERPOL’s Cybercrime Directorate in Singapore and the European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) at Europol. These relationships matured in 2025, with joint training of operational anti-cybercrime leaders with INTERPOL and regular participation by the Cybercrime Atlas in advisory groups at EC3. Launching the Cybercrime Atlas Research and Mapping group Another milestone was the launch and development of Cybercrime Atlas Research and Mapping, an applied research group. The group works to understand the intricate web of infrastructure tools and services used by cybercriminals and applies this knowledge to identify critical choke points whose disruption would have long-lasting impact. The Cybercrime Atlas consistently creates new and actionable insights into cybercrime networks, but insights are only the beginning of how it creates value. The Cybercrime Atlas relies on its community’s ability to act on joint research. The new Research and Mapping group facilitates evidence-based selection of targets for disruptive operations, creates insights that support policy recommendations, enriches the cybersecurity community’s knowledge of the cybercrime landscape, and supports prevention and mitigation strategies. Mutual understanding and trust between partners accelerate operations. Cybercrime Atlas Impact Report 2025 3
