U.S. LAW ENFORCEMENT JOINS INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS TO
DISRUPT A VPN SERVICE USED TO FACILITATE CRIMINAL ACTIVITY
Seized Websites Allegedly Offered VPN and Proxy Services To Individuals
for Illegal Activities
DETROIT – United States Attorney Matthew Schneider announced today
that law enforcement in the United States has worked jointly in support of
an international takedown of a virtual private network (VPN), dubbed
“Operation Nova.” Domain names offered by an organization engaged in
“bulletproof hosting” that provided assistance to cyber-criminals were
seized, and related servers were shut down. U.S.-based servers used in
the scheme were taken offline by U.S. authorities, while International
partners did the same.
