SMS Phishing / Smishing — Africa Cyber Threat Intelligence

Part of the Africa Cyber Threat Intelligence collection by electricsheepafrica.

Acquisition: SYNTHETIC
Rows: 10,000 (balanced 50/50)
Synthetic: All records are synthetic (is_synthetic=1), based on real-world research data.

Usage

from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-smishing-sms-phishing")

Overview

This dataset models SMS phishing (smishing) attacks targeting African mobile users. Africa is a mobile-first continent where SMS remains the primary communication channel for financial services, government notifications, and business. TransUnion Africa reported that 42% of Zambians were targeted by smishing in 2023, and Kaspersky noted a 10% increase in mobile threats across Africa that year.

Unlike email phishing datasets (which are Western-centric), this dataset captures Africa-specific patterns:

African languages: English, Swahili, Yoruba, Hausa, Zulu, French, Pidgin
African institutions: M-Pesa, MTN, Safaricom, Access Bank, SARS, KRA, FIRS
African lure types: Mobile money PIN theft, airtime rewards, NIN/ID registration scams
African currencies: NGN, KES, ZAR, GHS, TZS, UGX, etc.
