Risky Bulletin: Law enforcement take down AVCheck
Presented by

News Editor
Law enforcement agencies from Finland, the Netherlands, and the US have seized AVCheck, an underground service used by cybercriminals.
The service has been around for over a decade and allowed malware developers to test their code against major antivirus engines and malware scanners.
It ran the engines and scanners in isolated cloud environments that cut off telemetry and prevented them from phoning back home to the security firms with warnings when malware was detected.
