The rise in cybercrime losses in Ghana is driven by a combination of rising sophisticated cyberattack techniques globally and specific local economic and institutional challenges. Cybercriminals continuously evolve their tactics, making attacks more disruptive and financially damaging. In Ghana, factors exacerbating cybercrime losses include a deteriorating economic environment, high public sector corruption, reduced investor confidence, and economic mismanagement that stresses both individuals and businesses. These conditions create vulnerabilities for cybercriminals to exploit.
While direct detailed data on Ghana's cybercrime loss trends for 2025 was not found, the global rise in cybercrime losses—including in Africa—is well documented due to the growing use of digital platforms combined with insufficient cybersecurity infrastructure and awareness. Ghana’s reported economic and governance challenges further contribute to creating an enabling environment for cybercrime growth.
This play aims to raise awareness about these issues and encourage the public and private sectors to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses. Don't miss out on this important event—join us at the National Theatre on 2nd May for an evening of enlightenment and entertainment.
