The number of routers infected with coin miners dropped by 78% in countries of the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) region following a five-month-long operation coordinated by INTERPOL. Operation Goldfish Alpha launched in June 2019 allowed cybercrime investigators and experts from 10 countries to detect infected routers. They also alerted the victims and patched the compromised devices removing the coin miners and blocking the cybercriminals’ access to the routers. At the start of the operation, INTERPOL was able to identify over 20,000 hacked routers in the region.
