FBI, Nigeria Police Arrest Lagos-Based Suspect Over Global Microsoft 365 Phishing Attack Targeting Corporations, Banks, Schools
The Nigeria Police Force, in collaboration with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), has arrested Lagos-based suspect Okitipi Samuel over a large-scale cyberattack that targeted Microsoft 365 users across multiple countries. Police said the operation involved a phishing toolkit known as Raccoon0365, used to create fake Microsoft login portals that harvested user credentials and enabled unauthorised access to corporate, financial, and educational email accounts. Digital forensic analysis and cryptocurrency tracing linked Samuel to the scheme, while two other arrested individuals were cleared as victims of identity theft. Authorities say Samuel will be charged under Nigeria’s Cybercrimes Act as investigations continue.
