Police arrested four people and took down 100 servers across Europe and North America in a major sweep against malware, Europol said.
The European Union’s law enforcement agency also said over 2,000 domains were now under the control of law enforcement.

Criminals come in all shapes and colours. There’s nothing hintingat a covert Russian OP.

I don’t think the Russians have a monopoly on botnets
