The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) recorded 23,363 public inquiries at its call centre in 2025, reflecting growing awareness and concern about cyber threats across the country.
Of the total inquiries, 4,604 were confirmed cyber incidents, while 18,759 required direct guidance from CSA experts.

The figures were disclosed by Mr Divine Selase Agbeti, Director-General of the CSA, during the launch of the Central Region Cybersecurity Competition for Senior High Schools in Cape Coast as part of Africa Safer Internet Day 2026.
The event, hosted at Adisadel College’s Canterbury Hall, attracted strong competition among leading senior high schools in the historic academic city.

Adisadel College won the boys’ category, beating Mfantsipim School and St. Augustine’s College.
In the girls’ category, Mfantseman Girls’ Senior High School from Saltpond triumphed over Wesley Girls’ High School and Holy Child School, highlighting the region’s emerging talent in cybersecurity.
Held under the theme “Together for a Safer Africa Online: AU Online Safety Policy in Action,” the competition equipped students with practical skills in threat detection, ethical hacking, and secure coding.

Mr. Agbeti stressed the human impact behind cyber incidents, noting that each inquiry often involved a Ghanaian—frequently a child or young person—whose trust had been violated.
