Law enforcement agencies around the world in a coordinated effort took down and seized the infrastructure supporting Safe-Inet and Insorg VPN and proxy services known for catering to cybercriminal activity.
In announcements made today, Europol and the U.S. Department of Justice say that these VPN services were "Used by some of the world's biggest cybercriminals."
Cybercriminals using Safe-Inet and Insorg services have compromised networks all over the world, using the VPN connections to hide the location of their operational infrastructure.
Insorg had similar offers and provided 4096-bit encryption with OpenVPN. Unlike Safe-Inet the service offered up to three layers of VPN connections.
Insorg VPN services were also advertised on cybercriminal forums.
