Dozens of servers seized in Limburg for distributing child pornography

Police seized dozens of servers in an international investigation into a fraudulent hosting company suspected of facilitating cybercrime. The company allegedly engaged in activities such as distributing child pornography, phishing, and ransomware attacks. The servers were confiscated from a data center in Limburg. The hosting provider posed as a bulletproof host, advertising complete anonymity for users. Bulletproof hosts cater to criminal clientele involved in phishing, spam, and child pornography, claiming to keep clients hidden from authorities and allowing anonymous payments with cryptocurrencies. The seizure provided police with data on over 3,000 customers involved in criminal activities. The investigation also involved the FBI and German police, who tracked suspects and seized cryptocurrencies.
