An Albanian national known online as “Venom,” accused of developing and selling VenomRAT — a Remote Access Trojan used for remote access and data theft — was arrested in Athens in November and extradited to France in mid‑May. Australian authorities mapped his digital footprint in 2022 while targeting RAT developers, and the FBI purchased a subscription to VenomRAT in June 2023 to analyze it; Greek cybercrime officers, FBI representatives, and French judicial police executed the arrest and subsequent extradition.
