Authorities in Australia said Wednesday that they arrested two men accused of participating in cybercrimes for TeamPCP, a prolific group of hackers that, over nine months, has carried out a relentless series of supply-chain attacks that infected more than 1,000 organizations worldwide.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/a>, the Australian Federal Police said the two men were arrested and charged with 14 offenses. The statement said the men were members of TeamPCP, which by the authorities\u2019 count, compromised more than 1,000 organizations worldwide. The statement didn\u2019t identify the men, except to say they lived in the Western Australian towns of Cottesloe and Mandurah.
