'27 million stolen login credentials have been recovered': Global coordinated takedown hits SocGholish, Amadey, and StealC malware networks where it hurt

Cybersecurity ensures data protection on internet. Data encryption, firewall, encrypted network, VPN, secure access and authentication defend against malware, hacking, cyber crime and digital threat.
  • EUROPOL’s Operation Endgame froze $47M in cryptocurrency and dismantled infrastructure for SocGholish, Amadey, and StealC malware
  • 326 servers, 142 domains, and 14,971 infected websites were taken down, disrupting distribution networks and recovering 27M credentials
  • No arrests were made; experts warn such disruptions often only temporarily halt criminal operations before infrastructure is rebuilt

Millions of dollars in cryptocurrency were frozen, and hundreds of servers taken down, in a sweeping operation by EUROPOL and multiple national law enforcement agencies against cybercriminals.
