Resecurity Supports Microsoft DCU in Disrupting Fox Tempest ’S Cybercriminal Code-Signing Ecosystem
Microsoft’s Digital Crimes Unit, with Resecurity’s assistance, dismantled Fox Tempest—a malware‑signing‑as‑a‑service that leveraged counterfeit Microsoft code‑signing certificates. On May 19, 2026, the agency seized the signspace.cloud site, shut down hundreds of virtual machines, and revoked more than 1,000 fraudulent certificates. The operation, coordinated with Europol’s EC3 and the FBI, targeted the infrastructure that enabled ransomware groups to present malicious files as trusted software. By cutting off this upstream capability, the disruption hampers the broader ransomware ecosystem.
