A 38-year-old Russian crime gang leader arrested in ... Kyiv, Ukraine.
"The law enforcement action and resulting confusion about the identity of the detained has thrown the Russian cybercrime forum scene into disarray in recent weeks"
I'm guessing "disarray" means payments not posting? Bonus pool depleted?
Why would cyber-criminals (successful ones at least) dare living in Europe? Aren't there plenty of places out of reach for Europol and the FBI, etc.?
Or is cyber-crime so unprofitable?
> Since the Europol announcement, the XSS forum resurfaced at a new address on the deep web (reachable only via the anonymity network Tor).
Should it not rather be "the dark web"?
Seems suspicious that part of the identity tracing chain is a sale to a user named "Honeypo" (honeypot).
