Law enforcement officials in 19 countries shut down an online platform that was selling phishing kits to cybercriminals. The platform earned a million pounds by providing a subscription service to hackers, offering tools, scripts, and potential targets for phishing attempts. The operation involved the Metropolitan Police in the UK and resulted in the arrest of 37 suspects and the seizure of millions of pieces of sensitive information. This case highlights the growing sophistication of cyber criminals and the need for individuals to practice good cyber hygiene, such as using unique passwords and being cautious of phishing attempts.
