Interpol's Jackal IV Disrupts West African Crime Infrastructure

Interpol's Jackal IV operation disrupted crime-as-a-service networks and infrastructure supporting criminal groups active in West Africa, including Black Axe. The initiative targeted the underlying systems enabling organized cybercrime rather than individual threat actors.

Why it matters: Organizations across West Africa and beyond face reduced threat from the criminals and infrastructure that Jackal IV dismantled, though similar crime-as-a-service ecosystems remain active elsewhere.
