"AntiHack" Sec Operations by Police 😼

Law enforcement and international agencies have ramped up "AntiHack" operations (or "hack-back" initiatives) in 2024–2025, moving from reactive investigations to proactively disrupting cybercriminal infrastructure, taking down botnets, and seizing illicit servers.

Major 2024-2025 AntiHack Operations:
✅ Operation Endgame (2024-2025): Led by Europol and Eurojust, this is an ongoing, massive operation targeting botnets, infostealers, and Remote Access Trojans (RATs). It has resulted in over 100 servers taken down, 4 arrests, and millions in cryptocurrency seizures.

✅ Operation Synergia II (2024): Led by INTERPOL, this global operation involved 95 countries, resulting in the shutdown of over 22,000 malicious IP addresses and servers linked to phishing and ransomware.

✅ Operation Secure (2025): An INTERPOL operation in Asia-Pacific that took down over 20,000 malicious IP addresses/domains and seized 41 servers.

✅ Operation Cronos (2024): A major disruption of the LockBit ransomware group, led by the FBI and UK National Crime Agency (NCA).

✅ Operation Phobos Aetor (2025): Police dismantled the 8Base ransomware gang.

✅ Takedown (2025): The FBI and international partners dismantled counter-antivirus (CAV) services like "AVCheck" and "reFUD.[me]" that were used to help malware evade security software.
