In the past few days, the Netherlands (Dutch National Police), Canada (RCMP), the United States (FBI) and Germany (BKA – Federal Criminal Police Office) delivered a major blow to a cybercriminal network during a joint global action week, dubbed Operation Endgame.

 The RCMP is the national representative for Canada on Operation Endgame and Federal Policing Pacific Region (FPPR) Cybercrime Investigation Team – Vancouver (CIT-V) is the Canadian lead on this project. The CIT-V dedicated coders, analysts, investigators and project managers to the international project.
