Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) provider LabHost was taken down in an international law enforcement operation on 18 April 2024. Chainalysis maps out LabHost's on-chain activity and use of cryptocurrency. This includes the likely payment of monthly fees by cybercriminals (for LabHost's phishing tools) to identified LabHost cryptocurrency wallets. "LabHost then sent most of those funds to a few mainstream exchanges, presumably to be cashed out, as well as to a popular mixer, likely to launder the funds and obfuscate their origins." LabHost also sent funds to a payment processor (merchant services provider) and an Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider (while not identified, Chainalysis alludes to other criminal organizations using these services for web hosting, email tools, proxy services, etc.). There are links to iSpoof, another illicit provider of tools used for fraud that was shut down by the Metropolitan Police and other law enforcement agencies in 2022. 🔗 https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/labhost-disruption-phishing-as-a-service/

The UK's Metropolitan Police will begin sending text messages to suspected #fraud crime victims in the UK to encourage them to register with Action Fraud, following a breakthrough in a case involving the now-closed website #iSpoof.
The Met says there may be as many as 200,000 people who received phone calls from #scammers using the iSpoof service, which permitted callers to send forged Caller ID data. The scammers posed as employees of major banks in the UK.
Police will send the messages to about 70,000 people who spent at least one minute on the phone calls with the scammers. They surmise this group was at greater risk of having been victimized by the scammers. More than 100 people have been arrested so far in the wide ranging investigation.
