Authorities in Ukraine, with support from French police and Europol, have arrested the suspected administrator of XSS.is, one of the largest and most influential Russian-speaking cybercrime forums.
The forum, which had over 50,000 registered users, served as a key marketplace for stolen data, hacking tools, and illicit cyber services. This arrest follows a multi-year international investigation targeting the upper echelons of the cybercriminal underworld. The takedown is seen as a significant blow to the global cybercrime ecosystem, disrupting a hub that facilitated ransomware, data theft, and fraud.
Law enforcement agencies have also reportedly seized the forum's infrastructure, further hampering criminal activities.
