The Justice Department and international partners have taken down a criminal ransomware network called Qakbot, which caused significant financial damage and targeted individuals, small businesses, healthcare providers, and government agencies. The operation, known as "Operation Duck Hunt," also seized nearly $9 million in cryptocurrency and involved redirecting Qakbot's cyber activity to servers controlled by U.S. investigators. While no arrests have been made, 52 servers were seized, and the investigation is ongoing.
