  • 18/02/2025

The Criminal Security Sector of the Ministry of Interior, represented by the Department of Combating Cybercrimes, was able to arrest an international gang of Chinese nationality, involved in carrying out extensive cyber attacks targeting some telecommunications towers and banks in the State of Kuwait.


The incident dates back to reports from some telecommunications companies and banks about their networks being subjected to cyber attacks. Immediately, the specialized security teams began searching and investigating, where it became clear that there was an external influence resulting from the use of advanced electronic devices that enabled the gang to hack into the communication networks and send intensive fraudulent messages impersonating some banks, with the aim of stealing bank account data and seizing money.
