U.S. Dismantles BidenCash: Over $17 Million in Illegal Profits Seized

The U.S. government has dismantled a major darknet marketplace, BidenCash, seizing over 145 associated domains and cryptocurrency funds used to facilitate its illicit activities. Launched in March 2022, the site accumulated a user base of over 117,000 customers and facilitated the sale of more than 15 million compromised credit card numbers, generating $17 million in illicit profits. The platform operated through stolen data, offering free leaked information to attract new users, leading to 3.3 million stolen credit cards being released publicly between October 2022 and February 2023.
