Australians arrested in global phishing network sting

Five Australians have been arrested as part of a global sting operation into a "one-stop shop" for cyber criminals seeking to steal personal data.

Federal police made the arrests as part of a take down of the platform LabHost, which allows for cyber criminals to impersonate websites as part of phishing scams.

The personal details of 94,000 Australians have been stolen through LabHost, which has been used by criminals to impersonate 170 websites, including banks and government websites such as MyGov.
