The FBI released information on the takedown of a botnet operated by cybercriminals.
On August 29, the FBI and the Justice Department announced a
multinational operation to disrupt and dismantle the malware and botnet known
as Qakbot.
The action, which took place in the U.S., France,
Germany, the Netherlands, Romania, Latvia, and the United Kingdom,
represents one of the largest U.S.-led disruptions of a botnet
infrastructure used by cybercriminals to commit ransomware, financial fraud,
and other cyber-enabled criminal activity.
"The FBI neutralized this far-reaching
criminal supply chain, cutting it off at the knees," said FBI Director
Christopher Wray. "The victims ranged from financial institutions on the
East Coast to a critical infrastructure government contractor in the Midwest to
a medical device manufacturer on the West Coast."
