From SC:
Europol takes down high profile Ukraine-based cybergang
A Joint Investigative Team (JIT) took down a major Ukrainian-based cybergang in June, Europol said Thursday. Between June 18 and 19 authorities arrested five members of an alleged gang that has been accused of infecting tens of thousands with malware and banking trojans.
The goal of the JIT was to target high-level cybercriminals suspected of developing, exploiting and distributing Zeus and SpyEye malware along with their accomplices, according to a release. The gang targeted several major banks across the continent, modifying their trojans over time to defeat the banks' security protocols and using “mule networks” to launder money.
