FBI crackdown on cybercrime leads to Buffalo man's arrest and website shutdown.
A 26-year-old Buffalo man, Wul Isaac Chol, was arrested as part of a global takedown of Genesis Market, a "criminal online marketplace" that sells access to social media, bank, and email accounts. Chol allegedly possessed online credentials of 21 people, totaling 778 different accounts, from Netflix and Twitter to Airbnb and Amazon. He went on Genesis Market about 104 times between June 2019 and May 2022. The marketplace compiled stolen data taken from computers infected with malware and sold it. Chol was released on conditions, with his next court date scheduled for July 12.
