Feds have shutdown Botnet 811 S5 network that stole personal information, emails, passwords, IP addresses. In many cases, it utilized fake VPN services to install malware and hack computers. It compromised 19 million IP addresses in 190 countries. Interestingly, of the millions of fraudulent credit card orders (based on stolen personal information), only 4.62% could pass through the credit card fraud surveillance programs - keep this in mind when you encounter aggressive credit card fraud alerts next time. The operations were run by YunHe Wang who was arrested.
