TL;DR Summary

The FBI, along with nearly 20 other law enforcement agencies, has shut down Genesis Market, one of the world's biggest online criminal operations that sold login information stolen from millions of hacked computers around the world. The shutdown, called "Operation Cookie Monster," resulted in the arrest of over 120 people, mostly in the United Kingdom. However, there are still other sites operating on the dark web that will quickly take Genesis Market's place.
