Interpol has conducted major international operations against so-called InfoStealers along with 26 countries and several cybersecurity companies – malicious code can steal sensitive information such as passwords, credit card details and encryption keys.
The operation was carried out under the name Secure and was run between January and April 2025, resulting in more than 20,000 malicious IP addresses and domain names.
A total of 32 suspects were arrested, most of them in Vietnam and Sri Lanka. In Vietnam, police found large amounts of cash, SIM cards and documents related to company fraud. Operations were also carried out in Nauru and Hong Kong, where more than 100 servers were used for phishing and other types of cyber fraud were identified.
