The United States authorities announced on 5 June that they had seized 145 domain names associated with BidenCash and confiscated an undisclosed amount of encrypted currency. BidenCash is a dark-net market accused of trading millions of stolen credit cards and personal data.
The operation was announced by the United States Attorney ' s Office in the Eastern District of Virginia and was conducted against the platform ' s infrastructure and financial flows after being authorized by the Court. These sealed domain names have now been redirected to servers controlled by law enforcement.
Since its launch in March 2022, BidenCash has had over 117,000 users and facilitated the sale of over 15 million stolen payment card numbers and other personal identification information. According to United States officials, the platform generated more than $17 million in revenue during its operation.
In addition, the dark web market sells leaking login documents for unauthorized access to computers. Between October 2022 and February 2023, it issued 3.3 million stolen credit card records free of charge as a strategy to promote its services among hackers and attract new users.
