FBI Busts Rydox Marketplace with 7,600 PII Sales, Cryptocurrency Worth $225K Seized
Briefly

The Rydox marketplace has conducted over 7,600 sales of personally identifiable information (PII), stolen access devices, and cybercrime tools, which generated at least $230,000 in revenue since its inception in or around February 2016. This included credit card information and login credentials stolen from thousands of victims residing in the United States.
Users had to register for an account to purchase or sell the illegal products and services and deposit a sum of cryptocurrency into their accounts, which were then placed in a wallet controlled by the defendants. Rydox charged registered users a one-time fee ranging from $200 to $500 to become authorized sellers.
An undercover source with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) registered a Rydox account, deposited an equivalent of $300 in cryptocurrency, and purchased about 40 'full,' which refers to a package containing individuals' personal and financial information.
