  2. 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. 🔗 chainalysis.com/blog/labhost-d
