Microsoft secured a court order to seize and shut down websites operated by Storm-1152, a Vietnam-based cybercrime group that used CAPTCHA-cracking bots to create 750 million fraudulent accounts and routinely bypassed authentication systems at major platforms including Twitter and Google. Court documents revealed the group sold CAPTCHA-solving tokens obtained by a fleet of bots through sites including 1stCAPTCHA. Arkose Labs' threat intelligence work was central to identifying and building the case against Storm-1152's infrastructure.
