Law enforcement has successfully dismantled iServer, a phishing-as-a-service platform responsible for over 483,000 global victims, primarily in Spanish-speaking countries. This joint action, dubbed Operation Kaerb, resulted in 17 arrests and uncovered a sophisticated crime syndicate. The arrested individuals exploited a web interface to assist in unlocking stolen mobile phones, highlighting a growing trend in automated phishing schemes that specifically target mobile device credentials.
Europol revealed that the criminal network utilized an automated phishing mechanism that not only provided unlock services but also permitted low-skilled criminals to harvest credentials. This platform distinguished itself from conventional phishing services because of its particular emphasis on circumventing security features to unlock stolen phones. The sophisticated nature of iServer allowed unlockers to engage with phone thieves, amplifying the scale of the crime.
