I en stor samlad polisoperation så har polis slagit till en liga som misstänks ligga bakom GozNym-trojanen (malware) som använts för att stjäla över 100 miljoner dollar.
Gripandena har gjorts i Ryssland, Moldavien och Ukraina. Tidigare har ligans ledare gripits i Georgien.
An unprecedented, international law enforcement operation has dismantled a complex, globally operating and organised cybercrime network. The criminal network used GozNym malware in an attempt to steal an estimated $100 million from more than 41 000 victims, primarily businesses and their financial institutions.

Misstänks
Ligan misstänks ligga bakom 41 000 stölder av pengar med hjälp av mjukvaran. Offren har varit banker och finansorganisationer. Nätverket saluförde sina tjänster i olika undergroundforum, rysktalande sådana, och erbjöd sina tjänster
The GozNym network exemplified the concept of “cybercrime as a service,” with different criminal services such as bulletproof hosters, money mules networks, crypters, spammers, coders, organizers, and technical support.
The defendants advertised their specialised technical skills and services on underground, Russian-speaking online criminal forums. The GozNym network was formed when these individuals were recruited from the online forums by the GozNym leader who controlled more than 41 000 victim computers infected with GozNym malware. The leader of the GozNym criminal network, along with his technical assistant, are being prosecuted in Georgia by the Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia.
