Microsoft Tackles Three Phishing Platforms

Microsoft announced legal action Wednesday to disrupt three phishing platforms, YAM Store, CoGUI, and Iron Man, used by Chinese cybercriminals. Since January, these sites sent over 750 million messages targeting Microsoft customers in more than 150 countries. The operation seized domains and disabled more than 20,000 accounts connected to YAM Store while blocking over 100,000 domains used for impersonation.
