Main TakeawaysAn example of successful public-private collaboration, operation Red Card 2.0 targeted infrastructure and actors behind high-yield investment scams, mobile money fraud, and fraudulent mobile loan applications.Investigations exposed scams linked to more than $45 million in losses, and identified 1,247 victims, alongside the takedown of 1,442 malicious IPs, domains, and servers.Binance worked together with INTERPOL, AFRIPOL, other law enforcement and non-government actors in this sweeping push against pervasive scam.Scam networks scale by reusing the same infrastructure such as domains, IPs, servers, social accounts, and pushing the same high-pressure messaging across borders faster than any single organization can respond. Operation Red Card 2.0 shows what works to combat their approach: coordinated action that pairs law enforcement powers with intelligence from trusted private-sector partners to identify, disrupt, and dismantle scam ecosystems at their source.From early December 2025 through late January 2026, Binance supported INTERPOL, AFRIPOL, and national agencies across Africa in targeting the infrastructure and actors behind high-yield investment fraud, mobile money scams, and fraudulent loan applications, helping translate digital traces into real-world enforcement outcomes.A Cross-Border Push Against CybercrimeIn just 8 weeks, law enforcement agencies from 16 African countries made 651 arrests and recovered more than $4.3 million over the eight-week operation. Authorities seized 2,341 devices and took down 1,442 malicious IPs, domains, and servers, along with other related infrastructure. Investigations linked the activity to more than $45 million in financial losses and identified 1,247 victims from Africa and other regions.Binance supported authorities, INTERPOL, AFRIPOL, Team Cymru, The Cybercrime ATLAS, Trend Micro, TRM Labs and Uppsala Security, in leveraging the data and investigative expertise to provide critical intelligence to participating countries. Operation Red Card 2.0 was conducted under the African Joint Operation against Cybercrime (AFJOC), an initiative funded by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, and received operation-specific support from the Global Action on Cybercrime Enhanced (GLACY-e) project, a joint initiative of the European Union and the Council of Europe. Participating member countries were Angola, Benin, Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Chad, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.Neal Jetton, INTERPOL’s Director of the Cybercrime Directorate, stated the collaboration “highlights the importance of collaboration when combating transnational cybercrime” and encouraged all victims of cybercrime to reach out to law enforcement for help.What Investigators Uncovered: Four Scam Models in PracticeOperation Red Card 2.0 highlighted how fraud groups tailor their playbooks to local conditions and victim profiles.In Nigeria, police dismantled a high-yield investment fraud ring that recruited young individuals to carry out cyber-enabled crimes using phishing, identity theft, social engineering, and fake digital-asset investment schemes. Authorities took down over 1,000 fraudulent social media accounts and identified a residential property built by the ringleader to serve as an operational hub.In Kenya, authorities made 27 arrests linked to schemes that used messaging apps, social media, and fake testimonials to lure victims into fraudulent investments tied to reputable global corporations. Victims were prompted to invest small amounts, as low as $50, then were shown fabricated dashboards or statements while withdrawals were blocked.In Côte d’Ivoire, law enforcement made 58 arrests and seized 240 mobile phones, 25 laptops, and over 300 SIM cards in a targeted operation against mobile loan fraud. These scams targeted vulnerable communities through deceptive apps and messages, promising quick, unsecured loans, then imposing fees, using abusive debt-collection tactics, and harvesting sensitive personal and financial data.In another case in Nigeria, authorities arrested 6 suspects accused of infiltrating a major telecommunications provider’s internal platform using compromised staff credentials, siphoning airtime and data for illegal resale.Binance’s Role: OSINT and Blockchain AnalysisProtecting users is Binance’s priority, and we take a long-term approach to security by combining platform safeguards with cross-industry collaboration. User protection depends on proactive detection, fast intelligence-sharing, and consistent collaboration with trusted partners.Binance is a member of the Cybercrime ATLAS group, a research collaboration of world-leading cybercrime and cybersecurity experts from more than 30 companies.For Operation Red Card 2.0, Binance assisted with open-source blockchain analysis and used OSINT techniques such as IP and domain analysis to contribute to the overall intelligence package. Binance is an active participant in The Cybercrime ATLAS group OSINT research efforts, including blockchain analysis, aimed at identifying and investigating cybercrime activity and sharing actionable findings with law enforcement.Final ThoughtsOperation Red Card 2.0 shows the impact of coordinated action that combines law enforcement capabilities with intelligence support from private-sector partners. Binance will continue contributing to efforts that protect users, disrupt scam networks, and help raise the cost of cybercrime through collaboration, investigation support, and practical security work.Further ReadingBinance Contributes to Cyber Patrol – A Joint Global Operation Targeting the Financial Lifelines of Digital PiracyFrom Mapping to Action — How Cybercrime Atlas Is Turning Research into Real-World OperationsMapping to Disrupt: Binance’s Role in the Cybercrime Atlas InitiativeDisclaimer: Digital asset prices can be volatile.
