Authorities in Ukraine, with support from French police and Europol, have arrested the suspected administrator of XSS.is, one of the most prominent and long-running Russian-language cybercrime forums.
XSS.is served as a key marketplace for stolen data, hacking tools, and illicit services, boasting over 50,000 registered users. The arrest follows a four-year international investigation, during which authorities wiretapped servers and gathered evidence of the suspect's involvement in cybercrime and ransomware activities generating millions in illicit profits. The takedown marks a significant blow to the Russian-speaking cybercriminal underground.
Officials say the forum has now been seized, disrupting a major hub for global cybercrime.
