How Kenya emerged as leading cybercrime hotspot in Africa

Earlier this week global investigative agency Interpol revealed that 24 people had been arrested in Kenya as part of an operation spanning 19 African countries and involving more than 1000 suspects.

The suspects arrested in Kenya were implicated in an online credit card fraud linked to losses of Sh1.1 billion. Much of the details of the suspects arrested in Kenya remain unknown, as are the timeline of the crimes and the victims affected.
