Law enforcement agencies in 43 countries participate in the takedown

Phishing is a type of online fraud that involves sending emails or creating websites that look like they are from legitimate organizations in order to trick people into revealing their personal information.
INTERPOL's operation involved law enforcement agencies in 43 countries. The agencies worked together to identify and take down malicious servers that were being used to launch attacks against targets around the world.
The operation was a major success, and it has disrupted the activities of several major cybercriminal gangs. INTERPOL has said that the operation will help to protect businesses and individuals from cyberattacks.
The operation highlights the growing threat of cybercrime
Cybercrime is a major threat to businesses and individuals around the world. Criminals use a variety of methods to attack their victims, including phishing, malware, and ransomware.
