A coalition of international law enforcement agencies conducted 'Operation Endgame,' the largest-ever operation against botnet and dropper malware, seizing domains, taking down servers, and identifying substantial earnings from cybercrimes.
Authorities made arrests in Armenia and Ukraine, while adding eight suspects to Europe's Most Wanted list, focusing on disrupting initial access malware families such as droppers or loaders.
U.S. and European law enforcement agencies collaborated in the operation, utilizing a website in English and Russian to caution criminals involved in the dropper ecosystem about ongoing investigations.
The operation aims to dismantle key malware families including IcedID, SystemBC, and Trickbot, showcasing an increasing trend in cybercrime law enforcement disruptions with messaging-oriented approaches.
