Microsoft has taken its cybercrime fight to the UK in its first major civil action outside the US, moving to shut down RedVDS, a virtual desktop service used to power phishing and fraud at global scale. Redmond says it has filed parallel civil actions in the US and the UK, yanking RedVDS's marketplace and customer portal offline and seizing chunks of its infrastructure as part of a wider cross-border operation involving Europol and German law enforcement.
