GoKawiilFBI seizes Virtualine bulletproof hosting domain over ransomware, abuse ties
U.S. law enforcement seized the main domain of Virtualine, a bulletproof hosting provider that also operated under names like Secury, Massgod, and Spamhouse. The DOJ says the service advertised protection from legal and law enforcement scrutiny while enabling phishing, spamming, carding, and port scanning, and that its operator continued hosting a forum tied to child abuse material despite repeated takedown notices. The operator has disputed the allegations in an open letter published on a new site.
