Summary
Interpol's latest ASP Cyberthreat Assessment Report reveals that cybercrime now accounts for over 30% of all offenses across the Asia and South Pacific region. The increase is driven by expanded digital infrastructure, emerging technologies, and more organized criminal networks. Online scams and phishing attacks remain dominant threats, while AI-enabled attackers are proving particularly challenging for resource-constrained regions to handle.
