Microsoft and international law enforcement disrupted RedVDS, a pay-for-access virtual desktop service used by criminals to run large-scale phishing and fraud campaigns, seizing domains and filing civil suits in the US and UK; RedVDS rented disposable servers (from multiple countries) to criminals for as little as $24/month, is linked to roughly $40M in reported US fraud losses and compromises affecting over 191,000 organizations worldwide, and is tracked by Microsoft as operated by "Storm-2470."
