Eurojust Coordinates Takedown of Criminal VPN Network
Eurojust, in coordination with French and Dutch authorities and Europol, successfully dismantled a large-scale criminal Virtual Private Network (VPN) service. This VPN service, known as 'First VPN,' was actively promoted on Russian-speaking cybercrime forums and used by ransomware actors to evade law enforcement. The operation significantly impacts cybercrime operations by removing a key tool for anonymity.
