FBI and international law enforcement shut down cybercrime marketplace Genesis Market.

The FBI and international law enforcement agencies have shut down Genesis Market, a cybercrime marketplace that allowed criminals to impersonate legitimate users of major platforms. Genesis provided its customers with a custom browser based on Google's Chromium project that allowed bad actors to adopt the internet persona of hacked individuals. The takedown, dubbed Operation Cookie Monster, targeted an online marketplace that allowed users to buy and sell data that would let them impersonate legitimate users of major platforms, including Dropbox, PayPal, Microsoft, Twitter, and a number of cryptocurrency exchanges.
