/ 1 min read

🕵️‍♂️🔍 U.S. authorities dismantle Rydox cybercrime marketplace, arrest key operators. The U.S. Department of Justice has shut down Rydox, an illicit online marketplace for stolen personal information and cybercrime tools, leading to the arrest of three Kosovo nationals. The marketplace facilitated over 7,600 sales, generating at least $230,000 since its launch in 2016. Users could purchase stolen data, including credit card information and personal details, through a cryptocurrency-based system. In a coordinated effort, the FBI seized servers in Malaysia and confiscated approximately $225,000 in cryptocurrency. Additionally, the DOJ announced the extradition of Nigerian national Abiola Kayode for his role in a business email compromise scheme that defrauded companies of over $6 million.
