The continued transference of electronic waste from industrialized nations to nations in the global south is a contributor to not only health and environmental risks, but also security threats. Cybercrime is estimated to cost the global economy over $375 billion dollars annually, and an increasing number of cybercrimes are originating in West Africa. This research note explores the relationship between e- waste and cybercrime in Ghana and Nigeria, and the serious implications regarding cybersecurity in the age of globalization.
