Nigerian police arrested three suspects tied to the Raccoon0365 phishing platform, a cross-border cybercrime case that drove Microsoft 365 credential theft and business email compromise. The arrests matter because the toolkit was linked to at least 5,000 account compromises across 94 countries. Investigators said they recovered devices from the suspects' residences and linked them to the fraudulent scheme through forensic analysis. One suspect, Okitipi Samuel, is alleged to be the developer and seller of phishing kits.
