Operation Endgame Disrupts SocGholish Malware Network Tied to Evil Corp

An international law enforcement operation has dismantled key infrastructure associated with the SocGholish malware network, a major malware distribution platform linked to the Russia-based cybercriminal group Evil Corp. As part of Operation Endgame, authorities remediated infections on approximately 15,000 compromised websites and seized 106 servers and domains used to distribute malware through fake software update prompts. The operation targeted a network that leveraged hacked WordPress sites to infect visitors and facilitate the delivery of malware and ransomware to downstream victims. Coordinated by agencies including the FBI, Europol, and the Dutch National High Tech Crime Unit, the takedown aims to reduce cybercrime activity and prevent further abuse of compromised web infrastructure.
