FBI Takes Down Genesis Market, Notorious Cybercrime Website.

Law enforcement agencies from 17 countries have shut down Genesis Market, a notorious hacker marketplace that sold access to infected devices and stolen account credentials. The operation, called Operation Cookie Monster, resulted in 119 arrests and the seizure of the platform's infrastructure. Genesis Market's main criminal commodity was digital identities, which were sold for as little as $1. The market had about 59,000 registered users and was accessible on the open web, although obscured from law enforcement behind an invitation-only veil.
