Microsoft and Health-ISAC, a nonprofit that helps healthcare organizations share cyber threat information, are moving to dismantle YAM Store, CoGUI and Iron Man, three parts of a Chinese-language cybercrime marketplace that sold ready-made tools and infrastructure to scammers.
The services let criminals buy fraudulent Microsoft and Google accounts and use ready-made fake websites and messages impersonating banks, delivery companies and government agencies to steal login and payment details, enabling more than a billion malicious messages across more than 150 countries since January. The investigation began with a tip from Japan's National Police Agency (), and with a US federal court order, Microsoft seized domains behind the services and disabled more than 20,000 accounts linked to YAM Store.
