Police arrested four people and took down 100 servers across Europe and North America in a major sweep against malware, Europol said.
The European Union’s law enforcement agency also said over 2,000 domains were now under the control of law enforcement.
Operation Endgame, which was carried out between May 27 and 29, was “the largest ever operation against botnets, which play a major role in the deployment of ransomware,” Europol said.
I’m guessing those “three Ukrainian nationals” have a lot more loyalty to Russia than their homeland. And I’m guessing I know where at least some of those other ten are located.
Criminals come in all shapes and colours. There’s nothing hintingat a covert Russian OP.
Apart from this being a global malware operation, you mean?
I don’t think the Russians have a monopoly on botnets
I think when three Ukrainians and one Armenian were involved, it sure points towards Russia.
Eh, eastern Europe just has a lot of cybercrime around in general cause it pays better than real jobs in the area and getting visas is hard
U cracked the case, interpol here you come.
i feel this as well, we may see proof that this is indeed right in the next days or weeks. Thanks for all the nice posts and comments, looks as if you were jet propelled !
