The Dutch Police, Politie, claim to have removed a major threat to organizations all over the world by dismantling two of the most notorious ‘infostealers’, software designed to breach computer systems to steal sensitive information. “Operation Magnus,” conducted in collaboration with Team Cybercrime Limburg, is reported to have taken down the Redline and META info stealers, which have been responsible for infecting millions of computers worldwide with malware, leaving them open to devastating ransomware attacks and other threats.
Cisco Talos revealed its findings, showing that select Ukranian government agencies have been infected with the 'OfflRouter' malware since 2015. Cisco Talos researcher, Vanja Svajcer said. "The virus is still active in Ukraine and is causing potentially confidential documents to be uploaded to publicly accessible document repositories."
