Interpol has successfully dismantled a network of over 20,000 malicious IP addresses that were used for various cybercrimes, including hacking and distributing malware. This operation aimed to enhance global cybersecurity and reduce the impact of cyber threats on individuals and organizations. The initiative highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to combat online criminal activities.
An international law enforcement operation has successfully taken down AVCheck, a counter antivirus service used by cybercriminals to test malware evasion against commercial antivirus software. The takedown is part of Operation Endgame, which aims to disrupt organized cybercrime by targeting services that help criminals refine their malware for maximum effectiveness. Evidence links AVCheck's administrators to other crypting services that further support cybercriminal activities.
