Microsoft-led operation disrupts Chinese-language phishing kit ecosystem used in 1B attacks

Microsoft and partners dismantled a network of Chinese-language phishing kits that enabled over 1 billion malicious messages targeting 75,000+ organizations in under 10 months. The takedown disrupts a major cybercrime supply chain, though the full scope of the infrastructure and actors remains unclear. This marks a significant enforcement action against a prolific phishing-as-a-service operation.
