Britain's FBI takes down encryption service used by criminal hackers to launch cyber attacks around the world
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • As many as 15 server infrastructures were shut down on Monday in a global bust

  • German police led the take down of LabVPN and were helped by Britain's NCA

  • The NCA said the network was used by criminal gangs with links to cyber attacks

  • They 'cause significant economic harm to businesses', but would not say which
WHAT WAS LABVPN BEFORE IT WAS BUSTED?
LabVPN started in 2008 and allows cyber-criminals to control botnets and malware distribution. It offered VPN services on the Dark Web based on OpenVPN technology and 2048-bit encryption to provide online anonymity for as little as £44 a year. It was a popular choice for cybercriminals, who could use it to hide from the authorities. It was also used to create criminal infrastructure and communicate behind ransomware campaigns.
