Team Cymru Supports INTERPOL’s Operation Ramz, Helping Disrupt Cybercrime Across the MENA Region

First-of-its-kind 13-country INTERPOL operation results in 201 arrests, identification of 3,867 victims, and seizure of 53 servers — supported by Team Cymru’s threat intelligence.

Team Cymru, a global leader in external threat intelligence and internet visibility, today announced its role as a private-sector partner in Operation Ramz, a first-of-its-kind cybercrime operation in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region coordinated by INTERPOL. Running from October 2025 to 28 February 2026, the operation brought together law enforcement agencies from 13 countries to investigate and disrupt malicious infrastructure, identify and arrest suspects, and prevent further victimisation across the region.

Working alongside INTERPOL and fellow private-sector partners Group-IB, Kaspersky, the Shadowserver Foundation and TrendAI, Team Cymru contributed threat intelligence and internet-scale visibility to help participating countries track illegal cyber activities and identify malicious servers underpinning phishing, malware and large-scale cyber scams targeting the region.

“Cybercrime is borderless, and the only effective response is one that is equally borderless. Operation Ramz is exactly that kind of response, law enforcement and trusted private-sector partners pooling intelligence, moving in concert, and dismantling the infrastructure that criminals depend on,” said Joe Sander, CEO, Team Cymru. “We are proud to have supported INTERPOL and the 13 participating MENA countries with the visibility needed to turn data into action, and we will continue investing in the partnerships that protect victims and hold offenders to account.”
