U.S. Authorities Seize Domain Linked to $28 Million Bank Account Takeover Fraud

The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI seized the domain web3adspanels.org, which served as a backend control panel and stolen-password database used in a large bank account takeover campaign that leveraged fraudulent Google/Bing ads and fake bank webpages to capture credentials in real time; investigators tied thousands of stolen logins, at least 19 confirmed victims across multiple U.S. states, and roughly $14.6M in confirmed losses (about $28M attempted), with international partners assisting the ongoing investigation.
