Police take down two large cybercrime forums, arrest suspects

Law enforcement across multiple countries shut down two of the world's largest cybercrime forums—Cracked and Nulled—together accounting for roughly 10 million user accounts and generating millions in revenue; authorities announced arrests, seized cash, electronic devices, and cryptocurrency, and linked the platforms to widespread trading of stolen data, malware, automated scanning scripts, RDP hosting and payment processing services that enabled large-scale cybercriminal activity.
