Summary

Hide ▲

AudiA6's laundering ecosystem was disrupted, cutting off a service that moved more than $380 million for ransomware actors and other cybercriminals. The network's scale matters because it used thousands of fraudulent exchange accounts to professionalize money movement across multiple investigations. Dark2Web extended that ecosystem by advertising illicit services to other offenders.

    Legal Policy Action Update

    Law enforcement authorities from 11 countries, supported by Europol and Eurojust, dismantled AudiA6 after linking the service to ransomware actors and other cybercriminals. The coordinated action led to arrests in Georgia, searches of 3 properties, seizures of 25 domains, and the seizure or freezing of cryptocurrency and other assets, while the AudiA6 and Dark2Web websites were later replaced with seizure notices.
