Australian Federal Police have arrested two men accused of taking part in the activities of the hacking group TeamPCP. Police said the group carried out a series of cyberattacks earlier this year against several technology companies, including Mercor and OpenAI, as well as other firms that rely on widely used open-source software. The arrests were part of an international joint investigation, according to police, which was aimed at tackling criminal activity targeting critical digital infrastructure. The case links law enforcement action in Australia to a broader cross-border effort focused on cybercrime involving major technology targets.
