Five arrested in swoop on cyber crime site

Polish police arrested five people suspected of being responsible for running a web platform that has been used to launch cyberattacks around the world, European policing agency Europol said on Friday.

Europol said LolekHosted.net, a bulletproof hosting service – meaning an opaque infrastructure registration site that helps cyber criminals to anonymously conduct intrusions – had all of its servers seized and was no longer in operation.
