Botnets disrupted after international action
Botnets disrupted after international action
Continuing a string of successful botnet takedowns, on Thursday, May 30th 2024, a coalition of international law enforcement agencies announced "Operation Endgame". This effort targeted multiple botnets such as IcedID, Smokeloader, SystemBC, Pikabot and Bumblebee, as well as some of the operators of these botnets. These botnets played a key part in enabling ransomware, thereby causing damages to society estimated to be over a hundred million euros. This coordinated effort is the largest operation ever against botnets involved with ransomware.
