The identification of the Shylock Malware in 2014 led to the unravelling of a highly-sophisticated scheme where the proceeds of fraud were being laundered through a complex international network of money mules.

The criminal network behind this developed sophisticated exfiltration methods so as to avoid bank checks and transaction monitoring methods.

There is evidence that the use of money mules continues to grow - many recruitment sites remain in operation, with criminals seeing this as an effective way to launder funds and avoid banks' detection.
