The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia has seized 145 darknet and traditional internet domains, and cryptocurrency funds associated with the BidenCash marketplace.

Between Oct 2022 and Feb 2023, the marketplace published 3.3 million stolen credit card data including credit card numbers, expiration dates, Card Verification Value (CVV) numbers, account holder names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers, and generated over $17 million in revenue during its operations.
