A joint international operation carried out by law enforcement organizations from France, Spain, Sweden, Poland and others, has disrupted a large network of pro-Russian cybercrime057 (16). The Eastwood operation, supported by Europol and Eurojust, saw 12 countries take simultaneous measures against offenders and infrastructure belonging to the criminal network.
Following operations, 2 suspects were arrested, 7 arrest mandates were issued, 24 houses were searched, 100 servers were disrupted, more than 1,000 supporters were informed of their legal responsibility and the major parts of the main non-amme057 (16) were removed.
The criminal network has undoubtedly attacked targets in Ukraine mainly, but had recently moved its objective to the Ukrainian allies in the Russian / Ukraine War, many of whom are NATO members.

The group is said to be responsible for distributed service denial attacks (DDOS) across Europe against organizations and critical infrastructure, including banks, defense companies, transport companies, government agencies and energy suppliers.
“National authorities have reported a number of cyber attacks linked to non -AME criminal activities057.
Criminal cybernetworks like these are a bit of a cat and mouse game for the police, which is illustrated by the fairly regular major disturbances of criminal networks, which can temporarily master attacks in a field, but barely a breach in the number of global or offensive attacks.
Earlier in 2025, Europol arrested 17 suspects and seized millions of a criminal banking network which would have provided money laundering to criminals and eluded the police by using cryptocurrency and a structured underground financial system.
