Genesis Market shut down by FBI in global cybercrime bust.

The FBI's Buffalo office confirmed that a raid of a West Side home is connected to the international intelligence operation that seized Genesis Market, a "criminal online marketplace" that sells access to users' email, social media, and bank accounts. The cybercriminal platform took sensitive data from malware-infected computers and sold it on the dark web. The FBI and worldwide partners successfully shut down Genesis Market, and any user logging onto the website encountered a message: "Operation Cookie Monster. This website has been seized." The FBI asks anyone active on the market or in contact with administrators, or those who have been victimized, to email [email protected].
