This week, Europol hosted global law enforcement and the cybersecurity industry at its headquarters for Cyber Week, held during International Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Our European Cybercrime Conference gathered over 460 participants from 82 countries to discuss current trends and the future of cybercrime investigations. The event also marked the 10th anniversary of the Joint Cybercrime Action Taskforce (J-CAT), which has played a vital role in international cooperation to tackle cybercrime. With 24 law enforcement agencies representing 20 countries, the J-CAT has led several high-profile operations over the past decade, including Operations Cronos, EndGame, PowerOFF, and Fifth Element. Learn more about the conference and the J-CAT’s impact over the last 10 years. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eGauEWhv

🚨 In the early hours of 16 October 2024, Dutch, French, and German police forces arrested three members of a violent criminal network that carried out attacks on cash machines using explosives. Europol brought together investigators from the three countries in order to take down the criminals, who are believed to have looted millions of euros and caused a similar sum in property damage from 2022 to 2024. As part of an action day conducted in several locations across the Netherlands, France, and Germany, law enforcement also searched car rental companies whose vehicles had been used to flee crime scenes. This particular criminal network was one of the first to use locations in France as hideaway spots and rely on getaway cars rented from a French rental company. These raids led to extensive evidence being secured, thus facilitating the investigations into wider members, logisticians and supporters of the arrested suspects.
