    Sahel kidnappings surge as JNIM targets foreigners in Mali, Niger

    Kidnappings of foreign nationals increased in Africa’s Sahel in 2025, with Mali and Niger accounting for most of the documented cases and the al-Qaeda affiliate Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin, or JNIM, linked to much of the surge.

The report highlights cases ranging from tourists to humanitarian workers and expatriate laborers, and notes that Chinese passport holders made up the largest share of kidnapped foreigners tracked, often in Mali’s gold-producing regions where Chinese firms have expanded amid higher gold prices.

    Iran conflict: cyber probes, GPS jamming, and AI phishing [Prime Cyber Insights]

    Iran-linked cyber activity is being reported alongside kinetic conflict, and the operational takeaway is simple: expect elevated, mixed-mode risk—probing and intrusion attempts, disruption through DDoS, and influence or disinformation noise—while navigation and consumer-fraud threats spike in parallel. We cover reporting that Iranian actors have conducted sophisticated probing against APIs and mobile apps and may expand beyond regional targets, plus UK NCSC guidance that indirect threats are “almost certain” for organizations with regional ties. We also assess maritime warnings as more than 1,100 ships see GPS/AIS disruption since February 28, and we connect that environment to broader social engineering risk as phishing and spoofing complaints rise more than 85% year over year, accelerated by generative AI. Topics Covered ⚠️ Iran conflict spillover risk and expected elevated cyber activity🌐 GPS/GNSS and AIS interference impacting shipping in the Gulf region🛡️ UK NCSC guidance: exposure review, access tightening, Early Warning service📊 National Consumers League findings on phishing/spoofing growth and losses🔒 Practical controls: patching, verification habits, and staff awarenessDisclaimer: This program is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal, security, or operational advice.
