Morocco’s General Directorate of National Security has reported a significant uptake in its new digital platform, “Iblag,” designed to allow citizens to report illegal online content.

Launched in June, the platform has received over 7,083 reports related to various cybercrimes within its first three months of operation.

Most reports (6788) were related to general cybercrimes, with a significant portion concerning online scams and fraud. Other common issues included sexual extortion, defamation, and threats of violence. The platform also received 295 reports related to terrorism and extremism, including those praising the activities of terrorist organizations like ISIS.

The platform has allowed authorities to identify 82 individuals suspected of involvement in various cybercrimes. Of these, 23 have been brought to justice, and arrest warrants have been issued for nine others.
