    Europol’s Deputy Executive Director of Operations Jean-Philippe Lecouffe said in a statement. “By dismantling its infrastructure and arresting its key players, we are sending a clear message: there is no safe haven for those who profit from harm.”

    (Looks at the camera)

    Just as an aside, the person who owns this new company donated millions to the Trump campaign.

          ✅ Trump doner

          ✅ Super PAC owner (pro-trump)

          ✅ Racist

          ✅ Obama Birther conspiracy theorist

          ✅ Republican senator son

          Sounds delightful! 🤢

          Thank you for that context. I was really confused on why a Trump donor would be running a new DNM, and even more confused as to how a new DNM with a known owner could be operational for more than a few minutes.

          Very appreciated, in hindsight that makes much more sense, especially because I’ve never heard of this news outlet before in my life.

          I even saw san(.)org in the subtitle of this post, thought it said sans given the context of the post, then specifically looked at the outlet name because it was obviously not a SANS blog post and I didn’t recognize the front end UI at all. That’s on me.
