Trend Micro Teams Up with INTERPOL to Take Down Notorious Phishing Operation

Published

on

16shop responsible for an estimated 70,000 global victims

DALLAS, Aug. 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, today announced that its close cooperation with law enforcement has led to another major win after the dismantling of a prolific phishing-as-a-service (PaaS) operation.

Trend’s report led to the arrest of the suspected administrator of 16shop and two other suspects in Indonesia and Japan.

Jon Clay, VP of threat intelligence at Trend: “Trend has been a committed partner of INTERPOL for many years, so when the call came for help, we didn’t waste a second. As this takedown proves once again, public-private partnerships backed by powerful threat intelligence can be a force multiplier for international cybercrime investigations.”

Trend Micro was first approached by INTERPOL in 2020 when the policing alliance requested threat intelligence regarding PaaS site 16shop. The platform sold phishing kits designed to lower the barrier to entry to budding cybercriminals, enabling them to scale scam campaigns with ease.

Through its research, Trend found and reported to INTERPOL that:

Attacks supported by 16shop were particularly prevalent in Japan, as well as the U.S. and Germany.Customers of 16shop were able to craft phishing pages to harvest Amazon, American Express, PayPal, Apple, and CashApp credentials as well as U.S. banking logins.The platform’s phishing kits automatically localized the language of phishing sites depending on the victims’ location.It featured capabilities designed to thwart analysis, such as anti-sandboxing and geolocated access restrictions.16shop’s web infrastructure was hosted across numerous legitimate cloud providers to further avoid detection.The site was active from 2018 until at least 2021, with copycat sites most likely springing up after this date.

According to INTERPOL, Trend’s threat intelligence report helped lead to the arrest of the suspected administrator of 16shop and two other suspects in Indonesia and Japan. In total, 16shop is estimated to have enabled phishing attacks on over 70,000 victims in 43 countries.

Trend’s close support of INTERPOL in this operation follows numerous previous engagements, including 2022’s Operation African Surge, and the dozens of training sessions the cybersecurity provider has delivered to law enforcement agencies since 2014, including a five-day course recently held in Manila.

“India has the oldest and most profound culture of storytelling. We learnt everything from storytelling – from the code of conduct to our belief system”: Imtiaz Ali at India Global Forum’s NXT25

Published

By

MUMBAI, India, April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Storytelling, cinema, and digital content took the spotlight at ‘Making WAVES – the Culture Forum’ hosted during the India Global Forum’s NXT25: Leading the Leap Summit at the Jio World Convention Centre on April 8. The forum brought together some of India’s most iconic voices across entertainment and media to explore the evolving narrative of India emerging as a global powerhouse for content and digital innovation.

In a Fireside Chat titled, ‘Making WAVES – India as a Global Content Hub’, renowned Director and Writer Imtiaz Ali, said: “As a storyteller, I do not have to worry about what everybody likes. The way to find out the code is by finding what I would like. Since I have been in the film industry, I have been told that formula (movie success) is not working. Thank God for that, because if the formula worked, none of us would be here making movies. We (India) have the oldest and most profound culture of storytelling. We learnt everything from storytelling. Everything has been learnt from stories, from the code of conduct to our belief system.”

Continuing the conversation, Monika Shergill, Vice President – Content, Netflix India, highlighted: “The beautiful confluence of creativity and technology has allowed the creators not to be limited to where they are. The biggest enabler of this trend is a resurgence of hyperlocal. Indian audiences are among the most experiential, diverse, curious, and fantastic audiences. As streamers, storytellers, and creators, we must take advantage of this opportunity.”

This was followed by a conversation with Ekta Kapoor, Joint MD, Balaji Telefilms LTD, on the Intersection of Art, Success & Global Influence. She said, “There are different metrics of success for everyone. At Balaji and I, as content providers, believe success comes in three or four ways: getting the economics right, creating impact, and earning recognition.” On a lighter note, when asked about the upcoming remake of her hit TV show, Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kapoor teased the return of actor and politician Smriti Irani, saying: “We are bringing politics into entertainment or a politician.”

Later, in a Fireside Chat on ‘Inspiring Journeys’, noted actress Fatima Sana Shaikh, opened up about the challenges she faced and said: “This industry has no set rules or frameworks; if it has worked for someone, it doesn’t mean it will work for you. Nothing is permanent, not the highs or lows. We cannot get too attached to fame or failure; work is not our identity.”

Talking about her inspiration, Fatima, said: “I enjoy Kangana’s work. She is an incredible actor. She was one of the first ones to come from the outside and do different movies, like Queen & Tanu Weds Manu.”

Co-hosted with the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting, the Culture Forum also served as a precursor to the upcoming World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit (WAVES). Speaking on the occasion, Achal Malhotra, CEO, WAVES, National Film Development Corporation Ltd., said: “Most of us have started hearing about WAVES very recently but this was envisioned by our Hon’ Prime Minister way back in 2019. We have done a lot of look and see of the other great shows happening around the world. Therefore, we realised that with technology the way we produce content and the way we are seeing content consumption and also content delivery is changing at a pace we really don’t know what’s going to be the next tool that’s going to come.”

Bringing together CEOs, policymakers, global investors, and industry disruptors, NXT25 explores the biggest trends shaping India’s future on the world stage, spotlighting India’s ambitions for the next 25 years and its emergence as a global powerhouse in investment, technology, sustainability, and innovation.
