RaccoonO365 remains a phishing-as-a-service ecosystem tracked by Microsoft as Storm-2246, but the latest reporting adds Nigeria-based arrests tied to the operation. The Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre says investigators, working with Microsoft and the FBI, identified Okitipi Samuel / Moses Felix as the principal suspect and developer, and said he sold phishing links through Telegram and hosted fraudulent Microsoft 365 login portals on Cloudflare. The broader campaign is linked to theft of at least 5,000 Microsoft credentials from 94 countries since July 2024 and to business email compromise, data breaches, and financial losses across multiple jurisdictions.

    Microsoft and Cloudflare disrupt RaccoonO365 phishing service

    Initial Disclosure

    Microsoft and Cloudflare disrupted the RaccoonO365 Phishing-as-a-Service operation in early September 2025 by seizing 338 websites and Worker accounts linked to the service. Microsoft said the group, tracked as Storm-2246, had stolen at least 5,000 Microsoft credentials from 94 countries, and the operation had also run through a private Telegram channel with over 840 members and at least $100,000 in cryptocurrency payments. Microsoft later identified Joshua Ogundipe as the leader and said the stolen credentials, cookies, and other account data were reused for financial fraud, extortion, and follow-on access.
