Scoop: We obtained vast amounts of European mobile phone location data from data brokers. It was allegedly collected for advertising purposes only, but can be used to spy on high-ranking EU officials & NATO staff in Brussels. The Commission is 'concerned' & issued new security guidance to its staff.

Group 78 remains shrouded in secrecy. Why was it created? Was it a one-off experiment, or the sign of a lasting shift in the U.S. strategy against cybercriminals? Why take the risk of disrupting European investigations? The FBI did not respond to our request for comment.
Revealed: Group 78, the secret US task force that fights cybercriminals
When the FBI presented 'Group 78' to European counterparts in November 2024, some officials were shocked. They expressed particular concerns about the integrity of their investigations.

There is no definitive proof of Group 78 involvement. Still, some facts are unsettling: both journalists said this source wrote like an American. And what better way to burn the reputation of cybercrime kingpins than to leak their data?

The existence of Group 78 casts new light on two events that followed shortly after: a massive leak on Telegram exposing internal BlackBasta comms, and the approach of two cybercrime reporters by a mysterious source eager to expose this Russia-based gang.

The Paris prosecutor’s office confirmed that a meeting with a Group 78 representative had taken place and that it had officially lodged its concerns afterwards: "Only strict adherence to procedure can provide strong and effective judicial responses in the fight against cybercrime."

Among the task force’s main objectives is bringing cybercriminals within reach of Western courts. "There’s no way I’m going to cover for that," an indignant European magistrate told us, furious about the intrusion of intelligence agencies into European law enforcement and judicial cooperation.

La présentation, centrée ici sur le groupe BlackBasta, choque certains enquêteurs et magistrats européens, craignant un mélange des genres, voire qu'on leur demande de blanchir des opérations potentiellement illégales des services de renseignement américains.
