Paris and Amsterdam shut down First VPN service used by cybercriminals in attacks

Authorities in Paris and Amsterdam have taken down First VPN, a virtual private network service that was being used by criminals to carry out cyberattacks. The service had been operating primarily on Russian-language forums dedicated to cybercrime, where it provided anonymity tools for illegal activities. The shutdown represents a coordinated international effort to disrupt cybercriminal infrastructure that enables online attacks while protecting perpetrators' identities through encrypted network connections.
