Summary

German and Spanish authorities arrested the suspected administrator of the Crimenetwork cybercrime marketplace in Mallorca, Spain, after the rebooted site was seized in a cross-border enforcement action. The operation matters because the marketplace had been relaunched days after an earlier shutdown and was again facilitating illicit goods, services, and stolen data. Police also seized €194,000 and user and transaction data linked to the platform.
