An international police operation has successfully dismantled the 8Base ransomware group, leading to the arrest of four European suspects in Phuket, Thailand. The group, active since 2022, reportedly stole $16 million from more than 1,000 victims globally. This coordinated effort involved multiple agencies, including Europol and the UK's NCA, which confirmed involvement in the investigations. Along with the arrests, authorities seized significant evidence including cryptocurrency wallets and laptops. The operation also hints at a possible link between 8Base and another ransomware group, Phobos, already under scrutiny by law enforcement.
