Busting Bulletproof Bandits: US, UK, and Australia Sanction Russian Cybercrime Hosts
The U.S., U.K., and Australia have teamed up to sanction Russian bulletproof hosting providers aiding cybercriminals. These BPH companies, known for ignoring law enforcement, are a major support for ransomware gangs. With sanctions in place, cybercriminals might finally learn their “bulletproof” plans have a few holes.
Hot Take:
Watch out, cyber baddies! The global police are here to rain on your bulletproof parade with a trifecta of sanctions. Looks like the bulletproof hosting providers are about as bulletproof as a paper towel in a monsoon. Hope they’re prepared for a storm of justice!
