FBI laudă România, Ungaria și Bulgaria: împreună au lovit o rețea de hacking rusească / A fost distrusă o rețea malware cu peste 11 milioane de IP-uri infectate

The U.S. praised Bulgaria's General Directorate for Combating Organized Crime and its partners in Romania and Hungary for their role in neutralizing the Sality malware botnet. This multinational operation involved the confiscation of servers and domains linked to Sality, which has been active since 2003, facilitating cybercrimes and cryptocurrency theft. The operation was a collaboration between law enforcement and private sector partners, demonstrating the effectiveness of joint efforts in combating cyber threats. Europol confirmed the defeat of the Sality network, which had infected millions of computers globally, using a specialized method to disrupt its communication channels.
