More Smoke Loader news

This comes from the great news department. I read this yesterday, and I’m now getting around to blogging it.

Operation Endgame continues with detentions, interrogations, and server takedowns

In follow-up activity for Operation Endgame, law enforcement tracked down Smokeloader botnet’s customers and detained at least five individuals.

During Operation Endgame last year, more than 100 servers used by major malware loader operations (e.g. IcedID, Pikabot, Trickbot, Bumblebee, Smokeloader, SystemBC) were seized.

In a press release today, Europol informs that the operation continues as law enforcement officers analyze the data from the seized servers and are tracking down customers of the malicious businesses.

The fact that we don’t know who was detained or charges is fine, it goes to show that nobody is immune from the law.

I think the article should speak for itself from here on out if people want to read it.

Police detains Smokeloader malware customers, seizes servers is the article.

Thanks for reading.
