Ransomware-as-a-Service Testing Grounds — Africa Cyber Threat Intelligence

Part of the Africa Cyber Threat Intelligence collection by electricsheepafrica.

Acquisition: SYNTHETIC
Rows: 10,000 (balanced 50/50)
Synthetic: All records are synthetic (is_synthetic=1), based on real-world research data.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-ransomware-as-a-service")

Overview

This dataset models Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operations targeting African organisations, with a specific focus on Africa as a "testing ground" for new ransomware variants before global deployment. Sophos reports 78% of African organisations were hit by ransomware in 2024, while Check Point identifies Africa as the most attacked continent for ransomware.

Africa-specific patterns captured:

South Africa: Most targeted — Transnet port/rail shutdown (2021), NHLS health labs, City of Johannesburg, JSE-listed corporates
Nigeria: Banking sector double-extortion, oil & gas targeting, NIBSS payment disruption
Kenya: M-Pesa ecosystem disruption attempts, government ministry attacks
Egypt: Suez logistics firms, critical infrastructure targeting
Testing ground dynamics: New RaaS variants deployed in Africa first — lower security, less law enforcement response, volume-over-value strategy
Low ransom economics: $5K-$50K demands vs $500K+ in the West — African-adjusted pricing
African affiliates: Low-skill attackers recruited via Telegram/dark web as RaaS affiliates
Mobile money bridge: Ransom payments via mobile money-to-crypto bridges unique to Africa
Recovery gap: <10% of African orgs have tested incident response plans, <30% have viable backups
