We will probably see a reduction in the number of phishing emails in our inboxes. Thanks to the Ukrainian police that arrested the boss of U-Admin, the world's largest phishing service. 📩
This organization has industrialized phishing by creating tools to sell via an online store in the Dark Web. 🛠
They offered a phishing package, including a set of tools and an administrative panel. Their tools were so powerful that they capture user credentials and two-factor authentication codes. ⚙️
Ravie Lakshmanan has reported this on The Hacker News and said the alleged criminal faces up to six years of prison if proved guilty. 🤓
The Ukrainian police's tremendous success has provided a valuable service to the international community as this organization was committing its crimes in many countries. 👮♀️
Given the industrialization and global reach of cybercrime, do you think that political leaders should issue international regulations and enhance cross-border police cooperation? 🌎
Now that cybercriminals can also hack 2FA codes, what other authentication mechanisms would you add to your critical services? 🗝
