Operation Endgame targets malware networks in global crackdown

Europol-led Operation Endgame (Nov 10–13) coordinated arrests and seizures across 11 countries to dismantle three major cybercrime infrastructures—Rhadamanthys (infostealer), VenomRAT (RAT) and the Elysium botnet—disrupting 1,025 servers and 20 domains, prompting searches and at least one arrest; authorities report hundreds of thousands of infected machines, millions of stolen credentials, and control of over 100,000 cryptocurrency wallets, with private cybersecurity firms assisting the takedown and notifications to affected parties.
