US Justice Department says cybercrime forum allegedly affected 17 million Americans
U.S. prosecutors accused an Argentinian national living in Spain of being an “active administrator” of Nulled, one of the two hacking forums seized and shut down by authorities.
On Thursday, an international coalition of law enforcement agencies from Australia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Romania, Spain and the United States took down and seized two prominent hacking forums and two other related cybercriminal services. Among those affected includes a woman in New York who was allegedly “cyberstalked,” “sextorted,” and harassed by someone who used a product offered on Cracked, which promised access to “billions of leaked websites” by letting users search for stolen login credentials, prosecutors said. The DOJ press release said that Lucas Sohn, a 29-year-old Argentinian living in Spain, is accused of being an “active administrator” of Nulled, and faces criminal charges for several cybercrimes, including trafficking passwords and other data to access computers without authorization.
