security companies directing a surge of takedowns, seizures, indictments and arrests.<\/p>\n<p>Prolific infostealers, malware loaders, counter antivirus and crypting services, cybercrime marketplaces, ransomware infrastructure and DDoS-for-hire operations have all been seized, taken offline or severely disrupted by global coordinated campaigns over the past six weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been really energizing to see the volume and velocity of these takedowns in such a short period of time,\u201d Flashpoint CEO Josh Lefkowitz told CyberScoop.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t think of such a flurry and rapid succession \u2014 and then magnified by complementary takedowns by Europol and international partners,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s been a great couple of weeks for the good guys, and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if there\u2019s more around the horizon.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The scale of infrastructure disrupted by law enforcement and cybersecurity companies in the past few weeks is vast, spanning tens of thousands of malicious IP addresses and domains, and command-and-control systems and accounts used by cybercriminals to advertise and initiate their illicit activities.<\/p>\n<p>The retaliatory targets hampered or rendered nonoperational by recent law enforcement actions include:<\/p>\n<p>Some, but not all, of the takedowns were part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.operation-endgame.com\/\">Operation Endgame<\/a> \u2014 a broad, ongoing international law enforcement effort to dismantle and prosecute cybercriminal organizations. Other actions were taken in coordination with Operation PowerOFF and Operation Secure.<\/p>\n<p>Collectively, these actions target the ecosystem that supports the most impactful cyberattacks, Selena Larson, senior threat intelligence analyst at Proofpoint, told CyberScoop.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cAny disruption is a win,\u201d she said. \u201cI always get so happy to see any disruption. So I have been just so stoked the last couple of weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Security experts said they are heartened by how private industry, the FBI, Interpol, Europol and dozens of countries are pooling resources, sharing intelligence and collaborating to thwart cybercrime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>International law enforcement agencies and the private sector often glean insights from one takedown that uncover stepping stones to another, Lefkowitz said. \u201cAll it can take is one breadcrumb to inform a subpoena or a perspective on who to focus on within a network,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities also continue to embrace cybercriminals\u2019 information operations playbook by naming and shaming alleged conspirators, creating and publishing memes, videos and countdown clocks to instill fear and ramp up pressure across the criminal underground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you look at how you disrupt trust-based networks, particularly in scenarios where they\u2019ve never actually met each other face to face, that psychological warfare can be extraordinarily powerful,\u201d Lefkowitz said. \u201cIt\u2019s really an indication that the global law enforcement community is adopting more creative and forward-leaning mechanisms to react to the realities of the threat landscape that we\u2019re operating in.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Kristopher Russo, principal threat researcher at Palo Alto Networks\u2019 Unit 42, said it also shows how authorities are becoming more adept at working together to pierce the veil of anonymity cybercriminals try to hide behind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery malware site seizure not only directly impacts illegal services, but exposes a trove of data on how these networks operate and who is using them,\u201d Russo said. \u201cThe anonymity of the internet and shady websites will not shield bad actors from the consequences of their actions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the flurry of recent takedowns led to some arrests, the majority of people involved in these criminal enterprises remain at large.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Local police in Vietnam, Sri Lanka and Nauru arrested a combined 32 suspects for their alleged involvement in infostealer operations in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>Authorities issued international arrest warrants for 20 suspects as part of Operation Endgame, in addition to 16 people who were charged for their alleged involvement in DanaBot, which is controlled by a Russia-based cybercrime organization. The United States does not have an extradition treaty with Russia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Achieving a lasting impact is a perpetual challenge in the fight against cybercrime, particularly given how diffuse, diverse and resilient the ecosystem is, Lefkowitz said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can certainly impose costs,\u201d he said, \u201cand imposing costs takes a number of different forms and fashions,\u201d such as putting alleged criminals in handcuffs, seizing infrastructure or funds, imposing sanctions or degrading trust among key players.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best possible outcome is bad actors in handcuffs,\u201d Lefkowitz said. \u201cAbsent that, the actions that they\u2019re taking are certainly powerful and profound, and certainly should not be minimized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brett Leatherman, assistant director and lead official of the FBI Cyber Division, acknowledged that results of technical operations aren\u2019t always permanent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe may not eradicate the threat,\u201d he said during a media briefing after authorities toppled Lumma Stealer. \u201cThat\u2019s yet to be seen in any technical operation, but any period of downtime to the actors brings relief to victims, and that\u2019s what we\u2019re looking to do here.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cybercriminals who remain free after disruptive takedowns often regroup and reconstitute their operations or join other syndicates.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the lingering effects \u2014 second- and third-order impacts \u2014 of counter-cybercrime operations aren\u2019t trivial.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not just the disruption to infrastructure, a full-on takedown, that has impacted the landscape. This causes ripples across the underground economy and across the entire ecosystem,\u201d Larson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reputation hit is huge,\u201d she said. \u201cIt imposes cost on them in many, many different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\" readability=\"3.42\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"14\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cybercrime-crackdown-disrupts-malware-infostealers-marketplaces-across-the-globe-1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Matt Kapko\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Matt Kapko<\/h4>\n<p> Matt Kapko is a reporter at CyberScoop.
