Europol dismantled three major cybercrime networks as part of Operation Endgame

Europol said Thursday it conducted a new phase of Operation Endgame that dismantled three major cybercrime networks—the infostealer Rhadamanthys, the remote-access trojan VenomRAT, and the botnet Elysium.

The operation, led by Europol and Eurojust with support from 11 countries and private cybersecurity firms, targets networks that enable ransomware and large-scale online fraud.

Authorities arrested one suspect in Greece, searched 11 locations, and took down or disrupted more than 1,000 servers linked to malware that infected hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide and stole millions of credentials. Many victims were unaware their systems had been compromised.

Europol said the dismantled infrastructure included several million stolen credentials and access to more than 100,000 crypto wallets belonging to victims, potentially worth millions of euros.
