So it's good to hear that Interpol has taken down of the two largest cybercrimes forums.

We all know that's where all the criminals peddle their software, and including in it is malware that have been delivering stealer and it includes all attacks on cryptocurrencies. So another one bites the dust and hopefully the individual behind this two forums will be caught and sent to prison.

Not to sugar coat though, it's there responsibilities to go after this bunch of criminals and if I'm not mistaken, they said that they are going to be more proactive in working with other agencies so that they will be able to cripple this organizations.

Based on the article, the leader of the ring is still out and in the open, more work is needed by them to capture their guy as there is a big possibility that they will re-organized with a different name but the mode of attack will be similar.

To offer their tools to any individual or groups to used the software to scam.

A Europol-supported operation, led by German authorities and involving law enforcement from eight countries, has led to the takedown of the two largest cybercrime forums in the world.

The two platforms, Cracked and Nulled, had more than 10 million users in total. Both of these underground economy forums offered a quick entry point into the cybercrime scene. These sites worked as one-stop shops and were used not only for discussions on cybercrime but also as marketplaces for illegal goods and cybercrime-as-a-service, such as stolen data, malware or hacking tools. Investigators estimate that suspects earned EUR 1 million in criminal profits.
