H@ck4G00d: Turning the Tide on Cybercrime
Transforming Cybercrime into Cyber Careers in West Africa
The H@ck4G00d initiative is CyLynk's direct response to the rise of cybercrime networks in Africa, particularly online fraud, identity theft, and sexual extortion that exploit vulnerable populations. We recognise that many drawn into these networks come from disadvantaged backgrounds with limited economic opportunities.
Through our annual Purple Teaming CTF competition and biennial awareness tours to at-risk locations including universities, H@ck4G00d creates dual awareness. We highlight both cybercrime consequences and legitimate career opportunities for at-risk individuals and former perpetrators. These attack-and-defend events demonstrate that malicious skills can be channeled into ethical, well-compensated cybersecurity careers.
By partnering with industries, governments, and corporations, we're building sustainable pathways from cybercrime to cyber-defense. This comprehensive approach reduces cybercrime appeal while promoting ethical careers that restore trust in digital ecosystems and support regional development.
Our approach
Rehabilitation through Education
We provide practical, hands-on cybersecurity training to individuals involved in—or at risk of engaging in—cybercrime, guiding them towards ethical careers and long-term financial stability.
Awareness for At-Risk Communities
We deliver accessible AI and cybersecurity awareness programs to vulnerable individuals and communities—helping them recognise, prevent, and respond to cyber threats. Our goal is to build grassroots digital resilience and reduce the impact of online crime on those most at risk.
