Sextortion & Cyber Sexual Exploitation — 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-sextortion")

Overview

This dataset models sextortion and cyber sexual exploitation attacks in the African context. INTERPOL's 2024/2025 Africa Cyberthreat Assessment identifies sextortion as one of the fastest-growing cyber threats on the continent, with organised networks operating primarily from Côte d'Ivoire and Nigeria. The FBI IC3 reported a 300%+ increase in sextortion reports globally, with African networks identified as key perpetrators.

Africa-specific patterns captured:

West Africa (Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire): Organised "Yahoo Boys" networks pivoting from BEC to sextortion
South Africa: Highest domestic reporting rates; dating app exploitation
Kenya/Uganda: Mobile-first sextortion via WhatsApp and dating apps
Payment demands: Mobile money (M-Pesa, MTN MoMo), gift cards, airtime — unique to Africa
AI deepfakes: Emerging threat with AI-generated intimate content
Minor victims: Growing concern across the continent
