How Digital Threats Training Has Powered Innovative Cyber Investigations Around the World
Alumni of GIJN's four Digital Threats training courses have produced a number of exposés on online scams and political disinformation, from India to Kenya to the Philippines.
Illustration: Marcelle Louw for GIJN. From investigating a money scam sent over Whatsapp to exposing lucrative phishing accounts, alumni of GIJN’s four Digital Threats courses have produced a number of exposés of online scams and disinformation.
Presented by several cyber experts in a dozen remote, hands-on sessions, these courses — launched in 2023 — have trained 107 investigative journalists and researchers across four cohorts.
A recent GIJN survey of 31 alumni from those cohorts found that individual alumni and their newsroom teams have subsequently published increasingly ambitious and sophisticated exposés into deeply veiled online deceptions.
