"Notorious 'BestBuy' Hacker Arraigned for Running Dark Web Market"

A British hacker has been arraigned by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) for allegedly running the now defunct 'The Real Deal" dark web marketplace. The 34-year-old defendant Daniel Kaye, also known as BestBuy, Spdrman, Popopret, and UserL0ser, allegedly ran the illicit services market between early 2015 and November 2016 when The Real Deal shut down. Threat actors used this platform to sell stolen credentials for systems used by US government agencies, hacking tools, weapons, government data, and more. Court documents list login credentials for computers belonging to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the US Navy, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the US Postal Service (USPS) among those for sale on the dark web market. Kaye is also accused of trafficking Twitter and Linkedin accounts and conspiring to sell stolen Social Security numbers with a threat actor known as TheDarkOverlord.
