EMOTET and NetWalker Actors Busted on the Same Day

The first one to fall was EMOTET, the botnet that has been plaguing the internet world since 2014, running three separate botnets under the context of a “malware as a service” platform. On the other case, the NetWalker ransomware group’s operations were disrupted, money seized, and arrests made. The authorities found and seized several hundreds of servers in these countries, so if the operation was focused on just a few locations, the botnet will continue with only minimal disruption.
