What happened
- The FBI seized virtualine.net, a Russian-speaking bulletproof host (aliases Secury, Massgod, Spamhouse, Lanedo, Omegatech) that advertised ignoring abuse reports. Operation Endgame’s site lists a 27 Oct DOJ action against a bulletproof hoster.
- Technique: n/a (infrastructure provider). TRM Labs says StealC operators paid it in 2026 and that ransomware groups used it.
- Attribution: court documents via SecurityWeek; financial flows per TRM Labs.
- Response: domain seizure only; no arrests reported. TRM notes a domain seizure disrupts discovery, not necessarily the service.
