Authorities in Ukraine, with support from French police and Europol, have arrested the suspected administrator of XSS.is, one of the most notorious Russian-language cybercrime forums.
The forum, which had over 50,000 registered users, served as a major marketplace for stolen data, hacking tools, and illicit services. The arrest follows a four-year international investigation, including wiretapping and surveillance, that linked the suspect to numerous cybercrime and ransomware activities generating millions in illicit profits. The takedown marks a significant blow to the Russian-speaking cybercriminal underground.
Officials say this operation demonstrates the growing effectiveness of international cooperation in combating cybercrime.
