A thirty-month international law enforcement operation codenamed 'Operation Cyclone' targeted the Clop ransomware gang, leading to the previously reported arrests of six members in Ukraine.
In June, BleepingComputer reported that Ukrainian law enforcement arrested members of the Clop ransomware gang involved in laundering ransom payments.
This Friday, new information came to light regarding how the operation was conducted and the law enforcement agencies involved.
The transcontinental operation named 'Operation Cyclone' was coordinated from INTERPOL's Cyber Fusion Centre in Singapore, with assistance from Ukrainian and US law enforcement authorities.

“Despite spiralling global ransomware attacks, this police-private sector coalition saw one of global law enforcement’s first online criminal gang arrests, which sends a powerful message to ransomware criminals, that no matter where they hide in cyberspace, we will pursue them relentlessly,” said INTERPOL’s Director of Cybercrime Craig Jones in an announcement.
