CoinVoice has recently learned that the U.S. Department of Justice announced the seizure of the cybercrime platform Popeyetools and the indictment of its administrators Abdul Ghaffar, Abdul Sami, and Javed Mirza, accusing them of selling stolen financial data and assisting in ransomware and fraud crimes. Since 2016, the platform has profited $1.7 million through methods such as cryptocurrency payments, involved in the sale of stolen credit card data and personal identification information. Law enforcement also seized cryptocurrency worth $283,000 from a wallet controlled by Sami.
U.S. prosecutors stated that this operation benefited from international law enforcement cooperation, successfully dismantling this platform that provided services such as 'Live Fullz' and financial data verification tools. If convicted, the defendants could face up to 10 years in prison for each charge. [Original link]
