US Justice Department Arrests Three, Seizes Rydox Domain; Europol Takes Down 27 DDoS Platforms, Disrupts BADBOX on 30,000 Devices

The United States Department of Justice announced the arrest of three individuals and the seizure of the domain of Rydox, a dark web marketplace involved in trading personal information of thousands. In a separate coordinated effort, Europol, in collaboration with 15 countries, successfully dismantled 27 prominent distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) platforms, effectively taking them offline. Additionally, reports emerged regarding a new backdoor technique known as Yokai, which targets Thai officials by disguising malware as legitimate documents through DLL side-loading methods. Furthermore, Germany has disrupted BADBOX malware affecting approximately 30,000 devices using a sinkhole action, highlighting ongoing global cybersecurity challenges.
