Ukrainian authorities, with support from French police and Europol, have arrested the suspected administrator of XSS.is, one of the largest and most notorious Russian-language cybercrime forums.
The forum, which boasted over 50,000 registered users, served as a key marketplace for stolen data, hacking tools, and illicit services. The arrest follows a four-year international investigation, during which authorities wiretapped servers and gathered evidence of the suspect's involvement in cybercrime and ransomware activities. The operation marks a significant blow to the Russian-speaking cybercriminal underground.
Officials say the forum generated at least $7 million in illicit profits.
