Authorities Seize Domains of Popular Hacking Forums in Major Cybercrime Crackdown
Briefly

An international law enforcement operation has successfully dismantled several online platforms linked to cybercrime, specifically targeting websites like Cracked, Nulled, Sellix, and StarkRDP. These platforms were used as marketplaces for illegal goods, including malware and hacking tools, with significant user bases exceeding 10 million. Following the takedown, visitors are seeing seizure notices from authorities. Concurrently, two suspects were arrested, numerous properties were searched, and significant amounts of cash and cryptocurrency were confiscated, highlighting the ongoing efforts to combat cybercrime.
Both Nulled and Cracked have been used to peddle various hack tools, such as ScrubCrypt, a malware obfuscation engine that has been observed delivering stealer malware in the past.
According to Europol, Cracked and Nulled had more than 10 million users in total, acting as underground marketplaces for illegal goods and crimeware solutions, such as stolen data, malware or hacking tools.
