Law enforcement from nine countries seized domains and took down over 1,000 servers tied to Rhadamanthys, VenomRAT, and Elysium, disrupting a major cybercrime infrastructure network. The coordinated action under Operation Endgame also exposed a key suspect linked to VenomRAT. Europol said the dismantled infrastructure held several million stolen credentials and access to over 100,000 crypto wallets. The case shows how multinational policing can rapidly collapse malware supply chains at scale.
