The messages were posted following "Operation Ladybird," during which law enforcement agencies across several countries intervened to take down Emotet, one of today's largest botnets.

Dutch police played a crucial role in the Emotet takedown after its officers seized two of three key Emotet command and control servers that were hosted in the Netherlands.

Dang, never seen them post like that so openly and blatantly in a hacking forum before. Normally they stay undercover.
