Global takedown disrupts network behind 1 billion phishing messages

Law enforcement agencies and partners worldwide have disrupted a cybercriminal ecosystem linked to more than 1 billion malicious messages, according to BleepingComputer.

The messages targeted more than 75,000 organizations across 150 countries, the publication reported. The available source summary does not identify the operation, the agencies involved, or when the disruption took place.

The reported scale points to a broad international effort, but the source summary provides no further details about the network or the takedown. It also does not say whether arrests were made or what services or infrastructure were seized.
