Today we celebrate a major cybersecurity victory. Operation Endgame, a global law enforcement effort supported by insights from experts at Proofpoint and other industry vendors, resulted in:

• The disruption of major botnets
• Four arrests
• Over 100 servers taken down across 10 countries
• Over 2,000 domains brought under the control of law enforcement
• Illegal assets frozen

Proofpoint’s mission is to provide the best human-centric protection for our customers against advanced threats. Whenever possible and appropriate to do so, Proofpoint uses its team’s knowledge and skills to help protect a wider audience against widespread malware threats.

For #OperationEndgame, Proofpoint threat researchers lent their expertise in reverse engineering malware, botnet infrastructure, and identifying patterns in how the threat actors set up their servers to help authorities understand the malware and safely remediate the bot clients.

Proofpoint’s unmatched threat telemetry and researcher knowledge played a crucial role in the operation, providing key insights in identifying the new botnets that are most likely to grow and become the dominant threats affecting the most number of people around the world.
