Global Cybercrime Crackdown: Major Botnet Dismantled, Chinese National Charged

US and European authorities have dismantled the "world's largest botnet," responsible for nearly $6 billion in Covid insurance fraud. The operation, codenamed Endgame, led to the arrest of multiple suspects, including Chinese national YunHe Wang, and the seizure of luxury goods and properties. The botnet, active from 2014 to 2022, spread ransomware via infected emails. The coordinated international effort involved actions in several countries and targeted various malware droppers, significantly disrupting the cybercrime ecosystem.
