When I saw the name of the Microsoft Digital Crime Unit’s latest target, “RaccoonO365” I probably reacted to it differently than most. With the help of a friend in Lagos, we’ve been watching the money launderers and things have reached a point that they now refer to what we previously called “Business Email Compromise” or BEC as “O365 Jobs.”

Microsoft DCU is famous for doing massive takedowns of the infrastructure used by cyber criminals via Civil action in the US courts.

The venue is justified in their filing in part by showing that New York City was one of the most targeted cities, based on victims that they were able to identify.
