Dutch authorities have seized 800 servers and arrested two individuals for allegedly providing infrastructure that facilitated cyberattacks. The operation targeted a bulletproof hosting service that was used to launch various cybercrimes, including ransomware attacks and data breaches. This represents one of the largest law enforcement actions against cybercrime infrastructure providers in recent years.
Background
Bulletproof hosting services provide infrastructure that enables cybercriminals to operate with relative impunity, often located in jurisdictions with lax cybercrime laws. Law enforcement agencies worldwide have been increasingly targeting these services to disrupt cybercrime operations at their source.
