Dozens of servers taken offline from which over 6 million data have been stolen

During an international action week, police dismantled malware from Gootloader and CastleRAT, targeting servers and domains used for cybercrime. Gootloader, a notorious malware, exploited search engines to direct users to malicious sites, leading to ransomware attacks. In total, 14 servers in the Netherlands were neutralized, and 218 domain names were seized globally. The main suspect behind Gootloader has been identified, and investigations are ongoing. Additionally, 120 servers related to CastleRAT were taken down, including 6 in the Netherlands. The operation secured 6.4 million stolen personal data records, which were added to Checkjehack, a police site for checking data breaches.
