Authorities in Ukraine, with support from French police and Europol, have arrested the suspected administrator of XSS.is, one of the most prominent Russian-language cybercrime forums.
The forum, which had 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 targeting the upper echelons of the Russian-speaking cybercrime world. French authorities reportedly wiretapped servers and gathered evidence of the suspect's involvement in cybercrime and ransomware activities, which generated at least $7 million in profit.
The takedown marks a significant blow to the global cybercriminal underground.
