Executive Summary: This report analyzes the Genesis Store, a criminal marketplace offering per-victim browser 'bots' that include fingerprints, cookies, saved passwords and payment details—data harvested via web injects, form-grabbers and browser-stored credentials—and sold alongside a proprietary browser plugin to enable accurate impersonation of victims and defeat anti-fraud fingerprinting controls; the marketplace is active (1,500+ bots listed and recent purchases) and represents a scalable fraud enabler with novel monetization tied to required tooling.
