International #lawenforcement have arrested two individuals, believed to be core members of the odious #DoppelPaymer crime gang. For those who can’t keep all of these gangs straight, this is the group that shut down the University Hospital in Düsseldorf, employing the equally odious #emotet #malware.
The DoppelPaymer group victimized dozens of companies over several years. The US-based victims alone were extorted out of nearly €40M.
Kudos to the diligent #digitalforensic and #lawenforcement collaboration required to perform the attribution and tracing efforts that led to these arrests. Among those involved were the German Regional Police, the Ukrainian National Police, Europol, the Dutch Police, and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
With any luck, the materials seized during these raids will lead to even more arrests!
