On November 22nd, the Department of Justice announced the seizure of cybercrime platform Popeyetools and indicted its administrators, Abdul Ghaffar, Abdul Sami and Javed Mirza, accusing them of selling stolen financial data and assisting in the commission of ransomware and fraud crimes. Since 2016, the platform has made $1.70 million through cryptocurrency payments and other means, involving the sale of stolen credit card data and personally identifiable information. Law enforcement also seized $283,000 worth of cryptocurrency in wallets controlled by Sami.
US prosecutors said the operation, which resulted from international law enforcement co-operation to dismantle the platform, which offered services such as Live Fullz and financial data verification tools, carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison on each charge.
