Representatives from 27 countries gathered in Astana to discuss ways to combat cybercrime. The international conference was held with the support of the UN and participation of Interpol. Participants examined the most pressing digital threats, including online fraud, personal data theft and emerging scam schemes, reports 24KZ.
Particular attention was paid to the growing use of artificial intelligence by criminals. Kazakhstan proposed establishing a Regional UN Center for Combating Cybercrime in Astana. The center could help countries exchange information, conduct joint investigations into international crimes and train cybersecurity professionals.
Zhandos Suyinbay, Head of the Cybercrime Prevention Department of Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs:
– Efforts to combat cybercrime have been intensified in Kazakhstan, and the results speak for themselves. Over the past two years, online fraud has decreased by 21%. More than 3.5 billion tenge in funds belonging to victims have been blocked, while over 5.5 billion tenge has been returned to them. Cybercrime knows no borders, which makes such events particularly important.
Oykun Ilgın, Head of the Cybercrime Department of Türkiye’s Ministry of Internal Affairs:
– I am confident that the Second World Conference on Combating Cybercrime will further strengthen the existing cooperation between Türkiye and Kazakhstan in this field and provide a valuable opportunity to exchange experience. I hope this conference will bring practical benefits to all participants.
The practical program also included an international hackathon. A total of 38 specialists from 13 countries took part, presenting modern tools for detecting cybercrime and sharing technological solutions.
