Operation Shrouded Horizon

(

• Back to T:TDYK
• Article history

)

20 countries provided law enforcement assistance during the investigation

• ... that the FBI called Operation Shrouded Horizon "the largest-ever coordinated law enforcement effort directed at an online cyber criminal forum"?

• ALT1:... that Operation Shrouded Horizon was an 18-month international law enforcement investigation into an online forum described as "a cyber hornet's nest of criminal hackers"?
• ALT2:... that during Operation Shrouded Horizon, agents infiltrated a website the Department of Justice called "one of the gravest threats to the integrity of data on computers in the United States"?
• ALT3:... that it took only two weeks for cybercrime forum Darkode to relaunch after being seized at the end of Operation Shrouded Horizon, an 18-month international investigation?

• Comment: I've only gone through a couple DYKs in the past, so I hope this is an appropriately submitted nomination. There's another image, File:Darkode domain seized during Operation Shrouded Horizon (DOJ image).jpg (both published by the FBI), but frankly I'm not sure if either of them are appropriate for the size of the DYK image.

• This article is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain but not very relevant. Any of the hooks could be used as all have inline citations, but I prefer ALT1. The article is neutral and I did not detect any close paraphrasing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:07, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
