"Government Agencies Seize Domains Used to Sell Credentials"

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the US Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the seizure of three domains following an international investigation that discovered these domains selling stolen personal information and providing access to perform Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks on victim networks. The three Internet domain names include weleakinfo.to and two related domain names, ipstress.in and ovh-booter.com. According to the DOJ, the weleakinfo.to site operated as a database and search engine. The stolen data was indexed so users could search the files and information illegally obtained in more than 10,000 data breaches containing seven billion indexed records, including names, email addresses, usernames, phone numbers, and passwords for online accounts. How long the WeLeakInfo domain was in operation remains unclear, but the DOJ said that the site developed a reputation for selling names, email addresses, usernames, passwords, and more, to cybercriminals who would buy a subscription for a period of one day, one week, one month, three months, or a lifetime. This article continues to discuss the takedown of three domains found selling stolen information.
