Microsoft takes down 3 major phishing platforms used by Chinese cybercriminals

Microsoft has dismantled three significant phishing platforms utilized by Chinese cybercriminals. The company collaborated with Japan's National Police Agency and Health-ISAC to achieve this. A US court order was obtained, allowing Microsoft to seize and redirect domains that were part of the infrastructure supporting the phishing platforms, known as YAM Store, CoGUI, and Iron Man. This effort targeted the underlying infrastructure of these platforms. The operation was a result of joint efforts between Microsoft and its partners.
