A cyber crime group that stole roughly $100 million was arrested earlier this week, according to Interpol. The organization, known as GozNym, was apprehended following what was described as a complex international effort that involved the coordination of investigations across 6 different countries. Various gang members now face prosecution in the US, Georgia, Bulgaria, Moldova, and Germany.
GozNym was named for its key piece of malware, which was a hybrid of two other pieces of malware called Gozi and Nymaim. It leased this malware to criminal organizations looking to steal bank account details from law firms, multinational corporations, nonprofits, and other organizations.
5 other suspected members of the group remain at large.
