Global Cybercrime Crackdown: Multiple Networks and Malware Operations Dismantled

In a significant global operation, authorities from the US and EU have successfully dismantled the DanaBot malware network, charging 16 individuals and neutralizing over 300 servers associated with the cybercriminal operation. This crackdown, part of Operation Endgame, has been hailed for breaking key links in the ransomware supply chain, leading to the seizure of substantial amounts of cryptocurrency and the arrest of numerous suspects linked to the notorious Qakbot and DanaBot malware. Notably, the developers of DanaBot reportedly infected their own PCs, revealing the vulnerabilities in their operations. The operation signals a concerted effort by law enforcement to combat ransomware and cybercrime on an international scale.
