The United States and the Dutch National Police in a joint action launched a crackdown against a Pakistan-based network of online marketplaces selling hacking and fraud-enabling tools.
The crackdown involved the confiscation of 39 domains and their associated servers used by the cybercrime network
The US Department of Justice said in a statement that the hacking tools, according to the affidavit submitted in relation to the seizures, were operated by a group names as Saim Raza alias “HeartSender” that used crime-related websites since at least 2020 “to sell phishing toolkits and other fraud-enabling tools to transnational organised crime groups.
The statement added the these groups used these tools to target numerous victims in the US that resulted in over $3 million in victim losses.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Field Office is probing the case.
It emerged that the Saim Raza-run websites “operated as marketplaces which advertised and facilitated the sale of tools such as phishing kits, scam pages, and email extractors, often used to build and maintain fraud operations”.
