A coordinated cross-border investigation supported by Eurojust and Europol has shut down a criminal virtual private network (VPN) service. The operation targeted a service known as First VPN, which was used to offer cybercriminals a secure environment for illegal activity, including hacking and ransomware attacks. A joint action coordinated at Eurojust on 19 and 20 May led to the dismantling of critical parts of the service. According to the case update, investigators moved against key infrastructure connected to the network, including 33 servers. The operation also included a search and the interview of a suspect in Ukraine. The investigation was carried out by French and Dutch authorities, with support from Eurojust and Europol. The cooperation reflects how authorities coordinated across borders to disrupt the infrastructure used to facilitate cybercrime. This report does not say that anyone has been convicted. The details shared focus on the shutdown of the First VPN service and the operational steps taken during the coordinated action. The Eurojust release describes the action as a joint effort to dismantle infrastructure that supported criminal activity online, aiming to prevent further use of the VPN service.
