Europol dismantles AudiA6 — major crypto‑laundering service for ransomware groups

Colleagues, a cybersecurity alert: Europol dismantled AudiA6 — a cryptocurrency laundering service.

- Processed over €336M since 2021; linked to the Dark2Web forum.
- On 10 June, two administrators arrested in Georgia; 30+ servers, 25 domains, vehicles and assets seized; €692K frozen and €86K confiscated.
- Investigation led by Europol, DoJ, USSS, IRS, Polish police and others; uncovered 6,000+ KYC records and a mule network.

Why it matters: a blow to the financial pipeline enabling ransomware cash‑outs.
