NCA wrote:An international operation involving the National Crime Agency has taken down one of the biggest online marketplaces selling stolen credentials to criminals worldwide.

The activity, which involved 17 countries and was led by the FBI and Dutch National Police, saw Genesis Market taken offline yesterday, 4 April.

Genesis Market was a go-to service for criminals seeking to defraud victims, having hosted approximately 80 million credentials and digital fingerprints stolen from over two million people.

As part of the investigation the NCA, working with City of London Police and policing partners across the UK, identified hundreds of UK-based users of the platform. This resulted in 31 warrants being executed yesterday and this morning in coordinated raids by the NCA, Regional Cyber Crime Units and police forces.
