Police takes down AVCheck site used by cybercriminals to scan malware

International law enforcement dismantled AVCheck, a major counter‑antivirus testing service used by cybercriminals to refine malware stealth and linked to crypting services (Cryptor.biz, Crypt.guru) and ransomware groups; the takedown—part of Operation Endgame—seized the service's domain and hundreds of servers/domains based on undercover purchases and investigative data tying the infrastructure to ransomware activity.
