In a significant international operation, US and Dutch authorities have dismantled a Pakistan-based cybercrime network accused of distributing hacking tools and fraud-enabling services to criminals worldwide.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) identified the network, named HeartSender, allegedly led by an individual known as Saim Raza. Although the DOJ withheld personal details about Raza and his location, the authorities revealed that the network operated online marketplaces for over a decade, enabling cybercrimes like phishing, malware distribution, and large-scale financial fraud.
As part of Operation Heart Blocker, law enforcement agencies seized 39 domains and associated servers used by the HeartSender network. The DOJ estimates that the cybercrime group’s operations caused financial losses exceeding $3 million in the United States alone.
