Members of a phishing gang behind millions of euros in losses were arrested today following a law enforcement operation coordinated by the Europol.
"A cross-border operation, supported by Europol and involving the Belgian Police and the Dutch Police, resulted in the dismantling of an organised crime group involved in phishing, fraud, scams and money laundering," the Europol announced on Tuesday.
According to the investigation, the group's members stole several million euros using banking credentials harvested as part of large-scale email, SMS, and mobile messaging phishing campaigns.
"These messages were sent by the members of the gang and contained a phishing link leading to a bogus banking website," Europol added.
