According to Deep Tide TechFlow, the 'Safe Operation' led by Interpol successfully dismantled a network of information-stealing malware, with law enforcement agencies from 26 countries joining forces to arrest 32 suspects.
Among them, 18 from Vietnam, 12 from Sri Lanka, and 2 from Nauru. Over 20,000 malicious IPs and domain names were shut down during the operation, and more than 100GB of data was seized from 41 servers, effectively neutralizing 79% of identified suspicious IP addresses.
Such malware is primarily used to steal browser credentials, passwords, credit card information, and cryptocurrency wallet data. Law enforcement agencies have notified over 216,000 victims and potential victims to take security measures.
