Spain dismantles “GXC Team” cybercrime syndicate, arrests leader

Spanish Guardia Civil dismantled the GXC Team, a CaaS operation led by a 25-year-old alleged operator known as “GoogleXcoder,” seizing devices, phishing kit source code, communications and stolen cryptocurrency after coordinated raids across Spain; the group deployed AI-powered phishing kits (powering ~250 phishing sites), at least nine Android SMS/OTP-stealing malware strains, and supported clients via Telegram and forums, with investigations and potential further arrests ongoing.
