Interpol Targets Funds of Major File-Hosting Services

It is becoming increasingly unpopular to be a file hosting site. Well, unless you like raids, court appearances and frozen accounts.

Citing an Interpol investigation underway with the cooperation of Mastercard and Visa, Czech-based payment processor iKoruna discontinued service to file-hosting sites this week. The target of the investigation was not announced but transaction information was handed over to Interpol and all remaining funds have been frozen. The news comes soon after an Italian prosecutor announced a major crackdown on file-hosting sites, including some iKoruna clients.
