Dutch police say they've taken down Redline and Meta credential stealer malware

The Dutch police just took down Redline and Meta, two credential stealers, with the help of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.

Operation Magnus, a joint effort by Dutch National Police, the FBI, NCIS and several other law enforcement agencies, disrupted the illegal tools. Even gamers aren’t immune to Redline; McAfee found that a variant was hidden in fake game cheats. The video showed the agencies accessing user credentials, IP addresses and Telegram bots criminals use to steal sensitive data.
