Global Phishing Service Taken Down by International Law Enforcement

Law enforcement agencies from 19 countries collaborated to dismantle a $1 million phishing operation known as LabHost, catering to cybercriminals worldwide. The Metropolitan Police in the UK spearheaded the operation, resulting in 37 arrests and the shutdown of the platform.

LabHost facilitated the creation of fake websites to steal sensitive information, with over 2,000 hackers subscribing to its services. Europol, coordinating efforts globally, revealed the extent of the operation, which had amassed millions of compromised credentials.
