Odaily Planet Daily reports that Europol announced a cross-border operation in Germany and Switzerland to shut down the cryptocurrency mixer Cryptomixer, which has "cleaned" over $1.4 billion worth of Bitcoin since 2016. The operation, conducted in Switzerland, resulted in the seizure of three servers, 12TB of data, and over $27 million worth of cryptocurrency. Cybercrime experts say the crackdown will cause short-term disruption to criminal groups, but most will likely switch to other money laundering services within weeks. (Decrypt)
