A coordinated international law enforcement operation has taken down the Emotet botnet, one of the most prolific distributors of malware over the past decade.
This week police seized computer servers running the operation following a near two-year investigation mapping the criminal group’s infrastructure.
The joint operation involved authorities from Germany, the US, the UK, France, Lithuania, Canada, the Netherlands and Ukraine.
Europol, which coordinated the operation with Eurojust, said the infrastructure used by Emotet involved “several hundreds of servers located across the world”.
The agency said it was now redirecting infected machines to infrastructure controlled by law enforcement.
