A significant crackdown on cybercrime has led to the arrest of dozens of individuals connected to a global scamming operation. The operation centered around 'LabHost', a scam website that facilitated large-scale phishing and fraud, tricking as many as 70,000 victims in the UK and obtaining 480,000 card numbers and 64,000 PINs globally. The Metropolitan Police reported that the site, established in 2021, was part of a network that targeted individuals worldwide, leading to the theft of personal details from 94,000 Australians. The police have taken proactive measures to dismantle this network, protect victims' assets, and provide public guidance on avoiding such scams.
