Imagine this. Your daughter is travelling abroad for the first time on her own. You’re proud, but of course a little worried.

One day she calls, sobbing. She’s been robbed. She’s stuck and needs money now. It’s definitely her. You’d know her voice anywhere.

🛑 But what if it isn’t?

AI-facilitated scams are becoming more frequent - and more convincing - every day. Scammers can impersonate friends and family, preying on emotions and creating a false sense of urgency to make you act quickly.

So what should you do? Slow down, double-check information and shield what matters most with added security like safewords and two-factor authentication.

Wait. Validate.

One of Africa’s largest cybercrime enforcement operations has seen agencies from 21 countries:
🔵 Arrest 1,462 suspects
🔵 Disrupt 10,909 malicious networks
🔵 Recover USD 105 million in illicit funds

Under INTERPOL's coordination, investigators from participating countries joined forces to combat cyber-enabled fraud, ransomware, business email compromise, online scams and digital extortion.

Authorities also identified 65,929 victims targeted by cybercriminal networks, underscoring the scale and sophistication of today's digital threats. Financial investigations linked criminal activity to losses exceeding USD 385 million.

Imagine this. Your boss calls and asks for your help. It’s urgent. It’s definitely him: you can see and hear him clearly.

But what if it isn’t? Deepfake technology has evolved rapidly. AI can now replicate real faces, voices and behaviours using just a few photos, videos or audio clips found online.

The threat extends beyond the workplace; scammers can impersonate friends and family, preying on emotion and creating a false sense of urgency to make you act quickly.

So what should you do?

🔵 Don’t rush. Even if you believe you’re speaking to someone you trust, take a moment to assess the situation.

🔵 Verify. Hang up and call the person back on their usual number.

🔵 Use a safeword. Establish a secret phrase with close contacts.

🔵 Secure your accounts. Turn on two-factor authentication everywhere. Activate multi-step verification for large business transactions.

🔵 Report it. If you suspect a scam, contact local law enforcement immediately.

🔵 Train your teams. Business owners: make sure your staff are trained to recognise phishing, vishing and other social engineering tactics.

Wait. Validate.

🚨 95 arrests across 17 countries in operation targeting the distribution of child sexual abuse material

The arrests have come as part of parallel law enforcement operations in Latin America and Europe, each targeting a different aspect of the dissemination and commercialization of child sexual abuse content through messaging applications and cryptocurrencies.

These platforms are increasingly used to groom children, coordinate abuse, connect offenders and receive payment for illegal content. They also enable the recirculation of abuse content, resulting in continued revictimization of children.

The INTERPOL-coordinated initiative led to the ex*****on of 127 search warrants and the rescue of one child. Material seized during the investigation is expected to lead to further identifications of offenders and children at risk, as well as additional safeguarding action.

Members of INTERPOL’s Disaster Victim Identification team have recently returned from Nepal, where they supported authorities following the devastating August floods.

In close cooperation with the INTERPOL National Central Bureau in Kathmandu, our DVI experts provided strategic recommendations on the establishment of a reconciliation centre, in line with international matching standards.

This work came as a complement to the efforts of international DVI teams, which have been working closely with Nepalese authorities to identify victims.

🚨 2,800 illegal fi****ms and 40,000 pieces of am******on seized

Operation Trigger X was conducted across 17 countries and highlighted the long-term impact of conflict stockpiles on fi****ms trafficking.

Preliminary operational results indicate that a substantial amount of the illegal weaponry seized was linked to former or ongoing armed conflict zones, including the Balkan region, eastern Europe and Nagorno-Karabakh.

Multiple Soviet-era fi****ms were also seized or voluntarily surrendered in Armenia, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

Member countries reported 152 arrests, including the interception of 15 INTERPOL Notice subjects.

🇨🇿 This week at the INTERPOL Global Conference on Drugs and Illicit Substances in Prague, more than 230 heads of national drug agencies, investigators and frontline specialists compared what is actually working against a market that keeps adapting.

Representing 106 countries, they shared national efforts, best practices and common challenges.

Beyond plenary sessions, bilateral meetings helped move forward individual cases and explore future operational efforts to dismantle networks and cut off trafficking routes.

INTERPOL will keep bringing what this conference builds to every member country: a trusted global information hub, analysis capabilities, coordinated operations and specialized expertise, so that law enforcement can target the manufacture and distribution of illicit drugs further up the chain.
