A large international operation, coordinated by the FBI and Europol, led to the shutdown of an online platform that facilitated the sale of stolen data, including passwords, digital identities, and credit card numbers. Romanian authorities conducted searches in five counties, investigating five Romanians involved in illegal activities with computer devices.


The platform was used for the commercialization of stolen databases and access credentials, allowing users to access the online accounts of victims. As a result of the actions, the platform's data was confiscated, and investigations revealed the involvement of Romanians in illegal operations between 2022 and 2025. The action was supported by various law enforcement authorities from several countries.
