🌐 INTERPOL Disrupts 20,000 Malicious IPs – Philippines in the Network

In Operation Secure, Interpol and 26 countries coordinated to dismantle over 20,000 malicious IP addresses and domains tied to 69 infostealer malware variants. The operation, spanning January to April, saw 32 arrests across Asia and the seizure of 41 servers and over 100 GB of stolen data.

While Interpol did not name every country individually, it confirmed participation from the Philippines among several other Asian nations. This highlights the country's growing role in global cyber defense efforts.

🔎 Why This Matters for PH Organizations

• Malicious IPs linked to the Philippines were identified and neutralized during the operation.
• Early detection through international cooperation led to preemptive actions like forced password resets and account monitoring.
• Strong regional collaboration means stronger protection for local businesses.
