The National Crime Agency (NCA) says a 20-year-old woman was arrested in Staffordshire, and three males - aged between 17 and 19 - were detained in London and the West Midlands.
They were apprehended on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act offences, blackmail, money laundering and participating in the activities of an organised crime group.
All four were arrested at their homes in the early hours of Thursday. Electronic devices were also seized by the police.
One of the suspects - a 19-year-old man - is from Latvia, the rest are from the UK.

Cyber attacks that disclose personal data and also cost companies millions of pounds really should carry a prison sentence.
It's getting worse and worse and happening more often.

We can't live without technology in 2025, cash is no good if there are no goods in shops because of a cyber attack. Both M& S and Co-op had supply issues linked to the cyber attack.Braziliance said:This wouldn't happen in a cash society.

Both are expected to appear at Westminster Magistrates Court on Thursday afternoon.

Depends upon which section of the Act they were charged under and whether it is dealt with in a mags' or crown court. The maximum is 14 years and/or a fine.Arsenetatters said:If found guily what sort of sentence would they be looking at?1
