Europol Dismantles Network Behind 49 Million Fake Accounts

🔒 Europol, together with police in Estonia, Finland, Latvia and Austria, dismantled a cybercrime-as-a-service network during coordinated raids on October 10. Seven suspects were arrested and authorities seized five servers, some 40,000 active SIM cards, luxury vehicles, bank accounts and crypto wallets. Investigators say the operation created roughly 49 million fake accounts across about 80 countries and used those identities to swindle millions of euros.
