😵Millions in Data Sold Like Candy! 🍬🔐
In a major move against cybercrime, the U.S. government has shut down 145 websites linked to a massive online black market known as BidenCash. This dark web marketplace, active since March 2022, had over 117,000 customers and specialized in the sale of stolen credit cards, personal data, and even compromised login credentials. 😨 The site operated like an online store for cybercriminals, generating over $17 million in profits from shady deals.
Authorities revealed that BidenCash wasn’t just selling data—it was also giving it away. Between October 2022 and February 2023, the platform leaked 3.3 million stolen credit card records for free to lure in more criminals. These records contained sensitive information such as card numbers, CVV codes, names, emails, and addresses. 🧾💀 This tactic helped build a reputation and trust among fraudsters, making BidenCash one of the most notorious marketplaces on the dark web.
The operation didn't stop at websites. The U.S. also seized cryptocurrency funds connected to BidenCash’s illegal earnings. While the total amount wasn’t disclosed, this move further cripples the financial backbone of the cybercrime syndicate. All seized domains have been redirected to law enforcement servers, effectively turning them into warning signs for anyone trying to access them. 🔒💸
This takedown is part of a broader international crackdown on dark web crime. Just last month, Operation RapTor led to the arrest of 270 suspects across 10 countries and the seizure of $200 million in assets, including massive crypto holdings.Click to read full story 🌍⚖️ Law enforcement agencies are working together more than ever to go after criminals who think they’re safe hiding behind screens.
Cybercrime is growing fast, especially with crypto fueling anonymous payments. In 2024 alone, darknet markets generated over $1.7 billion, and platforms like BidenCash were at the center of this shady boom. But with the U.S. and global partners tightening the net, the dark web is getting a lot less dark for these digital thieves. 🔦🧠
