An international law enforcement operation led to the takedown of 300 servers and 650 domains linked to ransomware groups. Coordinated by Europol and Eurojust, the campaign resulted in over €3.5 million in cryptocurrency seizure, part of Operation Endgame which has netted a total of €21.2 million. The operation targeted several strains of initial access malware and issued arrest warrants for 20 individuals providing access to ransomware services. This builds on earlier efforts against botnets, showcasing adaptive law enforcement strategies.
This new phase demonstrates law enforcement's ability to adapt and strike again, even as cyber criminals retool and reorganize.
By disrupting the services criminals rely on to deploy ransomware, we are breaking the kill chain at its source.
