A German court ruled that ISP 1&1 misled customers by advertising FTTC connections as full fiber optic, when they use copper for the last mile. The decision bans deceptive terms like "fiber optic DSL" and sets a precedent for transparent broadband marketing in Europe, potentially influencing global ISP practices and encouraging true FTTH investments.
German authorities, in Operation Heracles, dismantled over 1,400 scam websites hosted in Eastern Europe, targeting cybertrading fraud that lured victims into fake investments. Collaborating with Europol and Bulgarian police, they seized servers and domains, preventing millions in losses. This highlights the need for international cooperation against adaptive cybercriminals.
