> Microsoft and Coinbase helped dismantle EvilTokens, an AI phishing service linked to more than 12,000 compromised inboxes and over 10,000 organizations. The operation seized 50 websites and disabled more than 150 domains, while UK police arrested and later conditionally bailed two men. Coinbase traced about $1.1 million in platform revenue across four Tron addresses and referred evidence to London’s Metropolitan Police.
