Operation Destabilise Hits Money Laundering and Crime Groups
Two Russian speaking networks, which enabled payments for cyber-criminal groups, taken down
Networks which supported and laundered millions of dollars in ransomware payments have been disrupted by the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA).
Named Operation Destabilise, the international effort exposed and disrupted Russian money laundering networks, including laundering over $2.3 million of suspected ransoms paid in crypto by victims of the Ryuk ransomware group.
The NCA named the groups as ‘Smart’ and ‘TGR’, and its activity has so far led to 84 arrests, as well as the seizure of over £20m in cash and cryptocurrency.
