From CTI Daily Brief — 2026-06-18 · published 2026-06-18

Chinese police arrested 67 suspects across five provinces in a June 2026 operation against Silver Fox — also tracked as Void Arachne, UTG-Q-1000 and TA4922 — assessed as one of the most active crimeware operations targeting Chinese-speaking users (Risky Biz News, 2026-06-17). The arrests reportedly span the full criminal supply chain: the primary developer/seller of the Silver Fox (Winos) trojan, a variant developer, phishing-site operators, and fake-app download-site operators, with secondary RATs including ValleyRAT used for credential theft. A CNCERT/CC security alert issued on 2026-05-22 preceded the operation (CNCERT/CC, 2026-05-22).
