The FBI, Europol and other law enforcement agencies have seized the domains of three VPNs frequently used by cybercriminals.
After operating for more than a decade, three VPN services that provided a safe have for cybercriminals online have been take down as part of a joint operation between law enforcement agencies from the US, Germany, France and Switzerland. Law enforcement agencies seized the domains insorg[.]org, safe-inet[.]com, and safe-inet[.]net and their homepages have now been replaced with banners telling visitors that the sites have been seized as part of Operation Nova. In separate press releases, the US Department of Justice and Europol explained that the three companies’ servers were routinely used to mask the real identities of ransomware gangs, Magecart groups and other cybercriminals.
