Surge in Violent Cybercrime in Europe Linked to 'Violence as a Service'

This trend, termed 'violence as a service,' has been particularly prevalent in France, where 13 of the incidents occurred. Perpetrators are required to acquire a 'burner' Windows laptop and travel to a UK-based corporate headquarters to execute their operations.
