Operation KillSwitch was a coordinated international law-enforcement action that seized KillSec ransomware infrastructure (including a dark-web leak site), led to three provisional arrests and the identification of suspected operators — including a 16-year-old alleged administrator — and recovered at least 110 TB of stolen data from roughly 500 suspected successful attacks dating from about 2024; investigators are analyzing seized systems and tracing criminal proceeds.
