Police shut down major cybercrime platform Genesis Market in global crackdown.

Genesis Market, one of the largest online criminal platforms, has been seized by the FBI in an international operation. The platform sold stolen credentials and tools to weaponize data, and was linked to millions of financially motivated cyber incidents globally. Genesis Market provided criminals access to "bots" or "browser fingerprints" that allowed them to impersonate victims' web browsers, including IP addresses, session cookies, operating system information, and plugins. The platform was unique among credential marketplaces and had a low barrier to access. A large number of arrests are being carried out globally.
