An #international #law #enforcement #operation, code-named #OperationMorpheus, aimed at combatting the criminal abuse of an older, unlicensed version of the #Cobalt Strike #red #teaming tool.
The Cobalt Strike platform was developed for Adversary Simulations and Red Team Operations, currently provided by the cybersecurity software company Fortra. It has also become popular among threat actors over the past years, including #APT29, #FIN7, #RYUK, #Trickbot and #Conti.
It is quite easy to find pirated versions of the software that were used by attackers in the wild.
Operation #MORPHEUS, led by the #UK National Crime Agency, included law enforcement authorities from #Australia, #Canada, #Germany, the #Netherlands, #Poland, and the #UnitedStates. This disruptive action, which concluded a complex investigation, began in 2021.
