Lesotho: Cybercrime & Cybersecurity Agencies

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

Police cybercrime unit

Lesotho Mounted Police Service

Official website
National CERT / cybersecurity authority

Interim Lesotho National Computer Security Incident Response Team (LesComCSIRT)

Part of: Lesotho Communications Authority with the Ministry of Information, Communications, Science, Technology and Innovation

Official website

Notes

  • Government of Lesotho page confirms the interim CSIRT launched 29 July 2026; the LMPS site was under maintenance and no police cybercrime unit page was found.
  • No dedicated cybercrime unit page is documented and the LMPS site was a maintenance holding page, so the national police itself is named (INTERPOL lists a cybercrime desk at NCB Maseru within LMPS).

Lost money? Call your bank first

The bank can often stop a transfer if it hears from you quickly. See the official fraud lines in how to report bank fraud in Lesotho.

Names and links were checked against official government or FIRST/ITU sources. Agencies are renamed and reorganised often, so check the official site before relying on it. See all countries in the cyber agencies directory.
