Police in six European countries, as well as Canada and the United States, completed a joint operation to take control of Internet servers used to run and control a malware network known as “Emotet,” authorities said in a statement.
Emotet is used by cyber criminals to first gain access to a victim’s computer before then downloading additional malicious software, such as trojans designed to steal banking passwords or ransomware which can lock a computer until an extortion fee is paid. German police said infections with Emotet had caused at least 14.5 million euros of damage in their country. Globally, Emotet-linked damages cost about $2.5 billion, Ukrainian authorities said.

That’s awesome. Usually any news about hackers is bad; it’s a nice feeling that this is bad news for them.

Is the Police even capable of doing that? 🤷♂️
And it’s back
Oof I'm safe
