The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has confirmed the arrest of a 25-year-old man for alleged fraud, cybercrime and money laundering.
In a statement, ZRP spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi said the suspect, Trynos Muzanenhamo, was once employed by a mobile phone provider.
His alleged accomplices, Trevor Muzanenhamo, Bradwell Shangwa and Timothy Bvuramiti, are still at large. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwe Republic Police, confirms the arrest of Trynos Muzanenhamo (25) in connection with a spate of fraud, cybercrime and money laundering cases that occurred during the period extending from 2020 to June 2023.
The suspect used various techniques such as card cloning, identity theft, WhatsApp hacking, social media-aided advance fee fraud, corporate account hacking, phishing scams and hot airtime recharge scams, among others to dupe individuals and companies.
On 15th June 2023 detectives from Criminal Investigation Department’s Commercial Crimes Division, Harare acted on received information and arrested Trynos Muzanenhamo in Chiendambuya, Headlands after a speed chase.
The suspect was arrested while driving a Toyota Hilux GD 6 vehicle which he was using as a getaway car.
Investigations by the police established that the suspect, who was once employed by a mobile phone provider, sent a One Time Password code to unsuspecting members of the public for confirmation thereby enabling him to hack and gain access to the unsuspecting persons’ bank accounts.
The hacked accounts were used to receive fraudulently obtained funds from various sources.
The suspect would also hack WhatsApp accounts, use foreign accounts and fake identity documents to create fraudulent accounts which he used to defraud individuals and companies.
Subsequently, the victims were duped of approximately ZW$ 27 996 000. 00 and US$ 1 800.00.
The Zimbabwe Republic Police is appealing to members of the public who could have been defrauded through phone hacking, WhatsApp hacking and identity theft to report at the Criminal Investigation Commercial Crimes Division, Harare or any nearest Police Station.
Meanwhile, the Zimbabwe Republic Police is appealing for information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect’s accomplices, Trevor Muzanenhamo, Bradwell Shangwa and Timothy Bvuramiti.
Anyone with information to contact National Complaints Desk on (242) 703631 or WhatsApp on 0712 800 197 or report at any nearest Police Station.

Police Arrest Fraud And Cybercrime Suspect After High-speed Chase

The government says it will establish a National Computer Incident Response Team (NCIRT), which will receive and respond to cybercrime reports in the country.
According to <a href="https://www.britannica.com/topic/cybercrime">Britannica</a>, cybercrime, also called computer crime, is the use of a computer as an instrument to further illegal ends, such as committing fraud, trafficking in child pornography and intellectual property, stealing identities, or violating privacy.
Speaking at a cyber-security dialogue at the University of Zimbabwe on Thursday, Minister of ICT, Postal and Courier Services, Jenfan Muswere, said the government has passed laws to combat cyber-crimes. He said:
<blockquote>
As a result, the Government has responded swiftly through regulatory measures such as the enactment of the Cyber and Data Protection Act, as well as supporting directives and other related legislation to enforce provisions of the law across all sectors of the economy.
In addition, the ministry, working with its stakeholders, has designed a programme to train personnel in Government ministries, departments, and agencies on ICT skills and cybersecurity awareness.
We believe there is room for collaboration with institutions of higher learning such as the University of Zimbabwe in this regard.
In addition, the ministry, working with POTRAZ (Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe) and the International Telecommunications Union, is setting up a National Computer Incident Response Team (NCIRT) to provide a focal point for incident reporting and response in the country.

Govt To Set Up Cybercrime Response Team

The Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz) Director-General Gift Machengete said that they want to embrace technology that will enable them to deal with cyber crime.
Machengete was speaking after meeting with the Japanese Ambassador Toshiyuki Iwado and the delegation from NEC Africa in Harare. He said that Potraz does not want cyber criminals to go scot free. Said Machengete:
<blockquote>As regulator, issues to do with cyber security are central to our work because we are mandated to regulate and also promote the same sector for growth, ensuring that there is development. Trust in ICTs can only be there when people believe that they are safe and that is where you bring in things like cyber security. 
For example right now, we have shortages in terms of cash, so we have moved more than any other African country. In fact, I can say that Zimbabwe has taken up mobile money ahead of many countries because of the situation we found ourselves in which is now an advantage to us. For that to continue we need people to have confidence and that can be found if they are safe, and criminals are accounted for and those who want to abuse cyberspace to commit crimes should be accounted for.
As regulator, we feel this is opportune time to embrace technology that Japan has. We would want to know whose sim card it is by recognising even the face. There are many criminal activities people do using sim cards and we do not want to let them go scot free.</blockquote>

POTRAZ To Deal With Cyber Criminals

One hundred and sixty-three students from the Zimbabwe National Army (ZNA), Air Force of Zimbabwe (AFZ), Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) and Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) graduated at the School of Military Police in Bulawayo. They were being trained in online investigations to curb cybercrime. Speaking at the graduation Brigadier-General Fidelis Mhonda said cybercrime was one of the biggest threats that Zimbabwe was facing.
Said General Mhonda:
<blockquote>Cybercrime is one of the greatest threats now facing our country and has enormous implications for our national security, economic prosperity and public safety.
The courses were primarily meant to impart and synchronise investigation techniques in tandem with current crime trends incorporating cyber and white collar crimes in your various organisations.
I am sure that you are all aware that today’s crime trends and policing methodologies are dynamic and constantly changing thereby necessitating the need for police officers like yourselves to always keep track of such dynamics and adjust your policing techniques in order to remain effective in crime prevention, detecting, investigating and general maintenance of discipline.</blockquote>

Zimbabwe Defence Forces And Security Services Being Trained To Fight Cyber Crime

According to a report by Rapid7 LLC, an American software company which provides security data and analytic software solutions Zimbabwe was ranked first out of 183 countries on the 2017 National Exposure Index. This means that Zimbabwe is the most hackable of the 183 countries mainly because of using many internet protocol (IP) addresses that are still using an outdated protocol leaving them vulnerable to hackers.
According to the report:
<blockquote>Zimbabwe has a total of 88 576 possible IP ddresses allocated to it, and 3 295 of those addresses appear responsive to port 23 (telnet protocol), for an overall rate of 3,7% responsiveness to an exposed service.</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Information and Communication Technologies (ZICT) chairperson, Jacob Mutisi said
<blockquote>It is a ZICT proposal that the government of Zimbabwe provide a platform where ICT experts meet to find a lasting solution to the use of FREE email providers. The move must be brought as a matter of urgency amid concerns about rising cybercrime and hacking incidents.</blockquote>

Zimbabwe is the most hackable country in the world says report

<a href="http://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Republic_Police">Police</a> have warned members of the public to be wary of a syndicate that is cloning secret pin numbers on Visa credit cards belonging to unsuspecting individuals in order for them to access cash from bank accounts or buy goods in Zimbabwe and neighbouring countries. This comes after police received reports on such cases where individuals would later discover that several transactions were made from their accounts by some fraudsters.
National police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Paul Nyathi confirmed the development and said they were concerned with such cases,
<blockquote>The Zimbabwe Republic Police is concerned with recent cases of fraud involving the use of Visa (credit) cards locally, and across the region.</blockquote>
He said in one of the cases which occurred on October 3, a Harare man made an inquiry on his bank account, and realised that a number of unknown transactions had been made. He narrated the incident to The Herald,
<blockquote>He made some enquiries with his bank management where it emerged that fraudulent transactions had occurred on his Visa card in which the yet-to-be identified accused person had bought goods in Zimbabwe and in South Africa worth thousands of dollars. Police are therefore urging members of the public to be alert on this new dimension of cyber crime where fraudsters hack pin numbers of Visa (credit) cards to access their accounts.</blockquote>
He urged people not to disclose their bank cards secret numbers to anyone.
