Interpol's 'Operation Ramz' Pioneers Cross-Region Collabs in Middle East

Interpol’s ‘Operation Ramz’ was a five-month collaborative law enforcement effort involving 13 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to combat cybercrime. The operation resulted in the identification of nearly 583 suspected cybercriminals, the seizure of hundreds of compromised devices, and the disruption of several criminal organizations, including an investment fraud ring and a phishing-as-a-service provider. This initiative represents a significant step in regional threat intelligence sharing and coordinated action against cybercrime, particularly in light of rising attacks targeting the UAE.
