Law enforcement operation brings down VPN and hosting services used by cybercriminals

A joint law enforcement operation involving the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation and various national police forces has taken down three virtual private network services and associated web hosting operations used by cybercriminals.
The takedown, dubbed “Operation Nova,” resulted in the seizure of domain names and server infrastructure used by insorg.org, inet.com and safe-inet.net. All three offered VPN and proxy services along with “bulletproof hosting.”
That’s a form of web hosting that offers leniency in terms of the material hosted and is regularly used for illegal activity such as online gambling and illegal pornography sites. The services are designed to allow customers to operate while evading detection by law enforcement.
