Meta Platforms on Wednesday said it took steps to remove around 63,000 Instagram accounts in Nigeria that were found to target people with financial sextortion scams
Meta's actions come as INTERPOL said it conducted a global law enforcement operation referred to as Jackal III that targeted West African organized crime groups such as Black Axe, leading to scores of arrests and the seizure of $3 million in illegal assets, including cryptocurrencies and luxury items.
The effort, which took place between April 10 and July 3, 2024, spanned 21 countries and was orchestrated with an aim to dismantle transnational organized crime syndicates involved in cyber fraud, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and violent crimes both within Africa and globally.
