Law Enforcement
Summary

Show ▼
Law enforcement seized E-Note's domains, servers, and mobile apps and unsealed an indictment against alleged operator Mykhalio Petrovich Chudnovets, disrupting a laundering service tied to ransomware and account takeover proceeds. Investigators say the platform moved more than $70 million in illicit funds since 2017 through an international money mule network. The action also exposed customer databases and transaction records, increasing the chance of identifying additional cybercriminals and users. The case raises the legal pressure on a cross-border service used to convert cryptocurrency proceeds into fiat currency.
