Masked cops armed with automatic weapons swooped on Medvedev's Bangkok condo on Feb 2, making the arrest before US justice officials indicted other alleged members of the ring.

LONDON: A British- and Dutch-led operation on April 25 brought down a website linked to more than four million cyberattacks around the world, with banking giants among the victims, Britain’s National Crime Agency said. 

“Authorities in five countries including the Netherlands, Serbia, Croatia and Canada, with support from Police Scotland and Europol, targeted six members of the crime group behind webstresser.org,” the NCA said in a statement.
