How the FBI Fights Back Against Worldwide Cyberattacks

The FBI is a central figure in fighting global cyberattacks, having created tools like PERSEUS to disrupt malware operations like Snake, critical to Russia’s cyberespionage activities. The bureau collaborates globally, assisting with investigations and learning from emerging threats. Notable successes include the takedown of dark web markets and disruption of various fraud schemes. Despite criticism of its methods and instances of itself being hacked, the FBI continues to adapt to tackle new cybercrime trends, with state-sponsored attacks and AI-enhanced crime at the forefront of its priorities.
