Abstract: 
                On June 17, 2026, INTERPOL released its 2025/2026 Asia and South Pacific Cyberthreat Assessment Report, a look at the increases and shifts in cyberthreats for the period of January 2024-March 2025.  The report drew on surveys from 18 INTERPOL member countries in Asia and the South Pacific, including both public and private sector reports, and demonstrated that rates of cybercrimes, including ransomware, phishing attacks, and data breaches have risen to an enormous degree throughout Asia and the South Pacific.
