- Law enforcement disrupted Malware operations involving Rhadamanthys Stealer, Venom RAT, and the Elysium botnet.
- The operation took place from November 10 to 13, 2025, targeting cybercrime infrastructure worldwide.
- Authorities seized over 1,025 servers and 20 domains, arresting the main Venom RAT suspect in Greece.
- Hundreds of thousands of infected computers and millions of stolen credentials were neutralized.
- The main suspect had access to about 100,000 cryptocurrency wallets, potentially worth millions of U.S. dollars.
Between November 10 and 13, 2025, a coordinated law enforcement effort led by Europol and Eurojust targeted major cybercrime infrastructures worldwide. The operation focused on dismantling three significant malware threats: Rhadamanthys Stealer, Venom RAT, and the Elysium botnet. This effort is part of the ongoing Operation Endgame, which aims to combat Ransomware enablers and cybercrime networks globally.
The crackdown resulted in the takedown of more than 1,025 servers and the seizure of 20 domains connected to criminal activity. On November 3, authorities arrested the principal suspect associated with Venom RAT in Greece. According to Europol, the disrupted malware networks involved hundreds of thousands of infected computers containing several million stolen credentials. Many victims were unaware that their systems were compromised.
The Elysium botnet mentioned by Europol may or may not be the same as a proxy botnet service recently advertised by the threat actor RHAD security (also known as Mythical Origin Labs), who is associated with Rhadamanthys. The main suspect related to Rhadamanthys reportedly had access to approximately 100,000 cryptocurrency wallets, potentially worth millions of U.S. dollars.
Recent research from Check Point revealed that the newest Rhadamanthys version includes capabilities to gather device and web browser fingerprints. It also has features designed to avoid detection. Law enforcement agencies involved in this operation included teams from Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and the U.S.
