Ukraine cyber police have arrested 51 individuals suspected of illegally distributing stolen personal information of 300 million people from the US, Ukraine and several European countries.
The large-scale operation, fittingly dubbed “DATA,” involved 117 searches throughout the Ukraine in November 2021.
“As a result of the operation, about 100 databases of personal data relevant for 2020-2021 were seized,” the police report reads. Additionally, more than 30 channels for the illegal distribution of information were blocked.
