Police services from across the world have undertaken an international campaign to hit at major cyber-crime syndicates.

Europol has revealed between 10 and 14 November the latest phase of Operation Endgame was coordinated from its headquarters in The Hague. The actions targeted one of the biggest infostealers (Rhadamanthys), the Remote Access Trojan VenomRAT, and the botnet Elysium, all of which played a key role in international cybercrime. Authorities took down these three large cybercrime enablers. The main suspect for VenomRAT was also arrested in Greece on 3 November 2025.

“The infrastructure dismantled during the action days was responsible for infecting hundreds of thousands of victims worldwide with malware,” Europol stated. “Operation Endgame, coordinated by Europol and Eurojust, is a joint effort between law enforcement and judicial authorities of Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States to tackle ransomware enablers.

“More than 30 national and international public and private parties are supporting the actions.”

The coordinated operations led to:

> 1 arrest in Greece

> 11 locations searched (1 in Germany, 1 in Greece, and 9 in the Netherlands)

> Over 1 025 servers taken down or disrupted worldwide.

> 20 domains seized

> Europol added the operation was not at an end.

It explained the dismantled malware infrastructure consisted of hundreds of thousands of infected computers containing several million stolen credentials. Many of the victims were not aware of the infection of their systems.

“The main suspect behind the infostealer had access to over 100 000 crypto wallets belonging to these victims, potentially worth millions of euros,” the organisation added.

“There were actions aimed at criminal services and their criminal users. These users were directly contacted by the police and asked to share relevant information regarding infostealers via the Operation Endgame Telegram channel. In addition, the failing criminal services are exposed via the Operation Endgame website.”

Europol revealed it acted to facilitate the information exchange and provided analytical, crypto-tracing and forensic support to the investigation. To support the coordination of the operation, Europol organised and coordinated calls with all the countries as well as an operational sprint at its headquarters.

“Over 100 law enforcement officers from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece and the United States supported the coordination of the operational actions from the command post at Europol,”  it continued. “The command post facilitated the exchange of intelligence on seized servers, suspects, and the transfer of seized data. Eurojust also assisted with the execution of a European Arrest Warrant and European Investigation Orders.”
