A coordinated international operation led to the disruption of an online software crypting syndicate, which provided cybercriminals with services to evade antivirus detection. U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei announced the seizure of four domains linked to counter-antivirus tools that enable malware obfuscation. The investigation involved undercover purchases and analysis connecting these services to known ransomware groups targeting victims in the U.S. and abroad. Authorities emphasize the need for modern law enforcement solutions to address the evolving sophistication of cybercriminals.
Modern criminal threats require modern law enforcement solutions. Our law enforcement efforts must involve striking not just at the individual fraudster or hacker, but the enablers of these cybercriminals as well.
Cybercriminals don't just create malware; they perfect it for maximum destruction. By leveraging counter antivirus services, malicious actors refine their weapons against the world's toughest security systems.
