Police Disrupt 'Cryptomixer,' Seize Millions in Crypto

Europol supported German and Swiss law enforcement in seizing Cryptomixer — a cryptocurrency mixing service accused of laundering proceeds from ransomware, drug and weapons trafficking, and card fraud — confiscating three servers, the cryptomixer.io domain, over 12 TB of data, and more than €25 million in Bitcoin; authorities claim the service mixed over €1.3 billion since 2016. The report frames the takedown as a meaningful disruption that raises costs and uncertainty for cybercriminals, while noting that ransomware and laundering activity continue and actors are shifting to alternatives like bridges and instant exchangers.
