FBI announces takedown of phishing operation that targeted thousands of victims

The FBI announced on Monday that it “dismantled” a global phishing operation, which allegedly helped hackers target more than 17,000 victims worldwide.

The website of the operation, known as W3LL, displayed a notice saying it has been seized by the FBI. The bureau said it worked with Indonesia’s police in the takedown operation, which resulted in the detention of the alleged W3LL developer — identified only as G.L. — and the seizure of “key domains.”
