Interpol Targets Infostealers

Contrary to popular belief, the cyber world isn’t always a place where the bad guys win. When nations work together, even the most elusive cybercriminals can be brought to justice. The fight against cybercrime is not a one-country job—it requires global coordination, shared intelligence, and strong commitment from all sides.

Interpol’s recent “Operation Secure” is a prime example of how international cooperation can lead to real, measurable results. This operation, which ran from January to April 2025, focused on cracking down on infostealer malware operations across Asia. As a result, authorities arrested 32 individuals in different countries, seized 41 servers, and took down around 20,000 malicious IP addresses and domains.

I was most impressed by how many countries joined forces—26 in total took part in this operation. As digital threats continue to grow in complexity and scale, we need more of these joint operations. It’s a reminder that by standing together, sharing resources, and acting decisively, we can disrupt the criminal networks that thrive in the shadows of the internet.
