A website used by more than 2,000 criminals to defraud victims worldwide has been infiltrated in the Metropolitan Police's latest joint operation to tackle large-scale online fraud.
‘LabHost’ is a service which was set up in 2021 by a criminal cyber network. It enabled the creation of “phishing” websites designed to trick victims into revealing personal information such as email addresses, passwords, and bank details.
Users were able to log on and choose from existing sites or request bespoke pages replicating those of trusted brands including banks, healthcare agencies and postal services.
But LabHost has now been infiltrated and disrupted as the result of a worldwide operation led by the Met.
