Malware targeting millions of people taken down by international coalition

A global operation, supported by Eurojust, has led to the takedown of servers of infostealers, a type of malware used to steal personal data and conduct cybercrimes worldwide. The infostealers, RedLine and META, taken down today targeted millions of victims worldwide, making it one of the largest malware platforms globally. An international coalition shut down three servers in the Netherlands, seized two domains, unsealed charges in the United States and put two people in custody in Belgium.
