The Cybercrime Atlas creates impact
The Cybercrime Atlas has provided a real-world example of how a model of open-source
intelligence gathering combined with operational collaboration can have a meaningful
impact in tackling the global threat posed by cybercrime. By working together across sectors,
we are showing what industry can do to help to make the internet a safer place.

Supporting disruption of cybercrime
networks, operations Serengeti and
Serengeti 2.0
The Cybercrime Atlas was named by the International
Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) as an operational
partner in the Serengeti and Serengeti 2.0 series
of cybercrime disruptions that took place across 19
countries in Africa.
The cumulative effect of these operations, coordinated
by the African Union Mechanism for Police Cooperation (AFRIPOL) and INTERPOL, shows how industry collaborations,
civil society experts, academia, and partnerships between
the public sector and experts from the private sector can
destabilize criminal networks.
The Serengeti operations targeted criminal groups that
had impacted more than 100,000 victims. The operations
disrupted criminals’ technical and physical infrastructure,
such as cryptocurrency mining equipment and electricity
generators, seized $140 million in funds suspected to be from
criminal activities and undermined the personal networks of
trust that help cybercriminals collaborate.
Hard drives, cryptocurrency mining equipment and illicit power stations were seized
during the INTERPOL- and AFRIPOL-led Operation Serengeti 2.0 in August 2025.
