International law enforcement agencies have dismantled one of the internet's largest cybercrime marketplaces after a coordinated operation spanning 14 countries targeted the notorious hacking forum known as LeakBase.
Authorities announced the takedown following a sweeping crackdown led by the US Department of Justice and supported by international partners, including Europol and multiple national police forces. The operation struck a significant blow against a major online hub used by cybercriminals to trade stolen personal data, financial records, and hacking tools.
