Polish police arrested a 47-year-old in Lesser Poland Voivodeship after raiding his apartment and seizing electronic devices. Investigators recovered logins, passwords, credit card numbers, server IP addresses, and other artifacts believed linked to cybercrime and potential ransomware operations. Technical examinations revealed data capable of breaching electronic security. Encrypted messaging reportedly tied the suspect to the Phobos ransomware group. Authorities seized one laptop, four smartphones, multiple payment cards, and a small amount of cannabis. The suspect faces charges for creating, acquiring, and sharing programs to unlawfully obtain information and could receive up to five years’ imprisonment. The arrest connects to Europol’s Operation Aether targeting 8Base and Phobos-linked activity.
