INTERPOL: Operation Ramz — 201 arrests and takedown of phishing infrastructure in MENA

Colleagues, an update for cybersecurity: INTERPOL conducted Operation Ramz in MENA—201 arrests and 382 suspects identified.

Briefly:
- Scope: 13 countries (Oct 2025–Feb 2026): phishing infrastructure and malware neutralised; 3,867 victims; 53 servers seized.
- Seizures in Algeria, Morocco, Oman, Qatar and Jordan: PhaaS, banking credentials, vulnerable/infected hosts.
- Private sector (Group-IB) supplied data on >5,000 compromised accounts; cases of participant coercion recorded.

Why it matters: coordinated law-enforcement and private-sector action reduces harm and dismantles criminal infrastructure.

What protective steps will you take?
