What happened

Multiple coordinated law-enforcement and industry actions this week targeted major cybercrime infrastructure and highlighted growing systemic risks. Microsoft, with partners, disrupted 200+ command-and-control servers used by Amadey and StealC (often deployed together); separate actions disrupted Evil Corp’s SocGholish botnet (106 servers remediated, ~15,000 infected sites cleaned). U.S. authorities also seized infrastructure tied to a cyber scam and criminal marketplace (Huione Group) and charged an operator (Abdellah Belmili) for running black‑market credential and phishing-kit sites.
