In a global crackdown, authorities in Australia and the U.S. have arrested two individuals linked to the creation of Hive RAT, a remote access trojan previously known as Firebird. The accused masterminds, allegedly responsible for the cryptojacking scheme, face charges for distributing malware that allowed control over victim computers and access to private communications and login credentials. The U.S. Justice Department (DoJ) has been leading the investigation.
