The U.S. Justice Department has taken over Popeyetools, a cybercrime marketplace, and revealed its connection to illegal cryptocurrency activities. The marketplace’s administrators, Abdul Ghaffar, Abdul Sami, and Javed Mirza, were charged with selling stolen financial data and supporting crimes involving ransomware and fraud.
Since 2016, Popeyetools generated $1.7 million in revenue, with some of it coming from cryptocurrency payments.
