Operation Endgame takes malware offered as a service offline
Eurojust coordinated actions with judicial authorities and police across multiple countries.
A major international effort linked to Operation Endgame has resulted in a successful takedown of malware that was being offered to other criminals as a service.
Eurojust said it worked with judicial authorities and law enforcement to target the technical infrastructure that supported the malware. The operation involved actions planned and carried out by authorities from Germany, Belgium, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Europol.
The coordinated steps focused on taking the systems offline that enabled the malware to be used for further criminal activity. Eurojust described the action as another chapter in Operation Endgame, aimed at disrupting the operational backbone behind cyber-enabled crime.
Rather than detailing specific methods or outcomes beyond the takedown itself, the announcement emphasised the international planning and execution required to shut down the malware’s infrastructure.
No arrests, charges, or convictions were mentioned in the information provided, and the report focuses on the dismantling of the technical infrastructure supporting the malware service.
