According to the Metropolitan Police, LabHost, a website created in 2021, deceived up to 70,000 victims in the UK and obtained 480,000 card details and 64,000 PINs globally.
More than 2,000 people were able to establish phishing websites with it, which was made by a criminal network and was intended to steal personal data such as bank account information, passwords, and email addresses.
Criminal subscribers might get on, pick from pre-existing websites, or request custom pages that looked like reliable companies like postal services, banks, and healthcare providers.
For would-be scammers with little experience with IT, the website even offered a lesson featuring a synthetic voice saying at the end.
Those who paid between £200 and £300 a month for international membership, which allowed them to target victims anywhere in the world, did so.
