International law enforcement shuts down major cybercrime markets and forums.

Law enforcement agencies from 17 countries, led by the FBI and Dutch National Police, have seized Genesis Market, a dark web marketplace popular with cybercriminals, in a multinational crackdown dubbed "Operation Cookie Monster." The market specialised in the sale of digital products, especially "browser fingerprints" harvested from computers infected with malicious software, which can be used by criminals to bypass anti-fraud solutions. The NCA estimated that the service hosted about 80 million credentials and digital fingerprints stolen from more than 2 million people. The operation resulted in about 120 arrests, more than 200 searches and almost 100 pieces of "preventative activity."
