Operation Trashpanda: How Blockchain Intelligence Enhanced The RaccoonO365 Takedown

In this session, Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit (DCU) will dive into the recent disruption of RaccoonO365, the fastest-growing phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) platform. RaccoonO365 sold phishing kits targeting Microsoft Office 365 users and empowered cybercriminals across 94 countries to steal thousands of Microsoft 365 credentials. With slick branding, AI-enhanced attack tools, and a thriving underground marketplace, the platform lowered the barrier to entry for digital crime, making it easy for virtually anyone to launch sophisticated phishing campaigns. The DCU, in partnership with Health-ISAC and Cloudflare, executed a global takedown that seized 338 malicious domains, unmasked a key member of the platform, and identified at least $100,000 in cryptocurrency payments. This case reveals how cybercrime is evolving to become faster, smarter, and more scalable than ever before.
