FBI Director Kash Patel(@FBIDirectorKash):Operation Riptide was this FBI’s historic 60-day campaign targeting cybercriminals preying on Americans here at home and around the world. We went after this criminal enterprise more aggressively than we ever have — making over 200 arrests, seizing $50 million in illegal cryptocurrency and stolen virtual assets, extraditing six cybercriminals from three different continents, executing six technical infrastructure takedowns, and seizing 170 domains and servers. With our improved AI technology, increased intelligence sharing, and aggressive work with partners overseas, FBI Cyber is now built to crush these criminal networks no matter where they operate. -DKP🇺🇸
