・2021.01.27 NCA in international takedown of notorious malware Emotet

A malware botnet that was used by cybercriminals to infiltrate thousands of companies and millions of computers worldwide has been taken down in an international operation.

The National Crime Agency worked with law enforcement partners across Europe and North America for nearly two years to map the infrastructure of Emotet - a pervasive malware that not only infected computers, but also enabled other malware to gain access and cause significant damage to victim networks.

Europol and Eurojust co-ordinated the operation, which saw the takedown actioned yesterday and searches of properties take place in Ukraine.

NCA investigators led the financial arm of the investigation which included tracking how the criminal network behind the malware was funded, where that funding went and who was profiteering.
