Egypt: Cybercrime & Cybersecurity Agencies

In Egypt, cybercrime against people goes to the police cybercrime unit, and technical incidents go to the national CERT.

Police cybercrime unit

Cybercrime and Data Networks Unit (Internet investigations)

Part of: General Department for Information and Documentation, Ministry of Interior

National CERT / cybersecurity authority

EG-CERT (Egyptian Computer Emergency Readiness Team)

Part of: National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA)

Official website

Notes

  • EG-CERT confirmed; the Ministry of Interior cybercrime unit could not be confirmed because moi.gov.eg blocked access.
  • Unit name comes from a Council of Europe Octopus listing that returned 403 on direct fetch; moi.gov.eg returned access denied, so no official reporting page was opened (a 108 hotline is cited in secondary sources only).
