"Admins of Genesis Market Marketplace Sold Their Infrastructure on a Hacker Forum"
The administrators of Genesis Market on the dark web have announced the sale of their platform to a threat actor who will resume operations next month. In April, the FBI seized Genesis Market, a marketplace for stolen credentials, launched in 2017. Genesis Market was an invite-only marketplace, but invitation codes were not difficult to find online. The platform provided access to "browser fingerprints" that enable criminals to impersonate victims' web browsers, including IP addresses, operating system data, time zones, device information, session cookies, and more. Amazon, eBay, Facebook, Gmail, Netflix, PayPal, Spotify, and Zoom were among the most popular services to which Genesis Market provided access. The seizure of the platform was part of Operation Cookie Monster, a law enforcement operation. This article continues to discuss the administrators of the dark web Genesis Market selling the platform on a hacker forum.
