A coordinated law enforcement operation, in partnership with private sector companies, including Bitdefender, Bitsight, ESET, and Microsoft, has resulted in the takedown of criminal infrastructure powering Amadey and StealC.
“The main common goal was to disrupt the ‘assembly lines’ cybercriminals use to launch ransomware, financial fraud, and attacks on critical infrastructure,” Europol said in a statement.
The development comes days after authorities from the Netherlands, Canada, Germany, and the U.S. disrupted malicious infrastructure associated with SocGholish and cleaned up nearly 15,000 infected WordPress websites.
