The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has arrested Yunhe Wang, a Chinese national and St. Kitts and Nevis citizen, for allegedly orchestrating a $130 million cyber scam. Wang is accused of creating the 911 S5 botnet, which hijacked over 19 million IP addresses through deceptive VPN services. These hijacked addresses were sold to cybercriminals, enabling various illicit activities, including financial fraud and child exploitation.
Authorities seized 23 domains and 70 servers linked to the botnet, along with $30 million in assets. This joint operation involved law enforcement agencies from the U.S., Singapore, Thailand, and Germany.
