The international law enforcement operation targeted cybercriminals operating malware distribution networks and phishing infrastructure in the MENA region. Authorities shut down 53 servers used for malicious purposes, disrupting attacks that targeted individuals and organizations. The operation represents a coordinated effort among multiple countries and INTERPOL divisions to combat organized cybercrime. Investigators traced criminal networks conducting phishing campaigns, malware distribution, and related fraud schemes that affected victims across the region and beyond. Operation Ramz demonstrates increased enforcement focus on cybercriminal hubs in the Middle East and North Africa.
