First VPN Service Seized Law Enforcement Takedown | MSSP Advisory

Law enforcement seized First VPN, a criminal-focused VPN service that provided anonymity for ransomware groups and data theft operations. The service specifically marketed to cybercriminals and was used to hide attack origins across multiple high-profile breaches. This takedown disrupts current attack infrastructure but criminals will migrate to alternative services.

Your clients face immediate increased risk as displaced criminal users scramble to new VPN services and may accelerate planned attacks before losing anonymity cover. Your own RMM and remote access tools become higher value targets as criminals seek new infrastructure to route attacks through compromised MSSP environments.
