Cybercriminal Mastermind Busted: Goodbye to the GXC Team’s Reign of Digital Mischief!
Spain’s Guardia Civil has put an end to the GXC Team cybercrime spree, arresting its 25-year-old Brazilian leader. Known as “GoogleXcoder,” this digital mischief-maker sold AI-powered phishing kits and more. The cybercrime group had become a major player in credential theft tools, setting a new standard for “innovation” in the underworld.
Hot Take:
Looks like “GoogleXcoder” won’t be coding any Google Doodles anytime soon, as Spain’s Guardia Civil sends the GXC Team leader straight to the slammer. Perhaps he can now use his AI skills to craft the ultimate prison escape plan—or maybe just write a best-selling memoir titled “Phish and No Chips: Life Behind Digital Bars.” Either way, it’s safe to say his career in cybercrime is officially on the fritz!
Key Points:
- Spanish authorities dismantled the GXC Team, a prominent cybercrime group, and arrested its 25-year-old Brazilian leader.
- GXC Team sold AI-powered phishing kits and malware via Telegram and Russian forums.
- The group developed tools for online banking theft, e-commerce scams, and more, targeting over 300 global entities.
- GXC used fake government websites and Android malware to steal identities and bypass security measures.
- Six raids across Spain seized electronic devices and stolen funds, with ongoing investigations potentially leading to more arrests.
