>"But cybercrime is just purely global," Witschi added. "I can't see a single nation being able to get on top of it when you think that 13 per cent of countries don't have law – let alone policy – around cybercrime. It just means that any international legal framework doesn't exist in those countries."
Therefore all attacks can proxy through the immense size of these wild west of countries who don't police this. Better yet, this is counter intuitive but who has the money? If Nigeria princes are earning big $ with illegal activity. Bigger entities like Interpol who are offering no $ aren't going to win here. They will side with $ so long as it's bigger.
South Americans made this same huge mistake when they let US politicians dictate their laws. Pablo Esbobar era. He has been dead for 30 years and the drug wars are still impacting south america to an extreme degree. Not offering them money, but threatening to punish south americans for criminal elements in their country.
I suspect history will repeat and the African governments will make the same mistakes. History always repeats.
>Interpol 'cyber surge' targets African crime rings Over the summer, Interpol will lead what it calls a "cyber surge" in 30 African countries. These coordinated efforts, which also involve the Gateway threat-sharing security partners, focus on pumping resources into both identifying threats and then helping local law enforcement disrupt cybercrime rings.
You know what blows my mind. It's clear a cyber world war is ongoing, China, USA, Russia, etc. Interpol is obviously not going to be effective in policing the cyber world war. Invert it, if you want to avoid policing the cyberworld war, you can only target who isn't involved.
Guess that's Africa?

Maybe Egypt? Maybe Jordan/Israel? Really Africa has virtually no cyber armies. No wonder interpol is headed that direction.
