PARIS (Reuters) -A person suspected of being the administrator for the Russian language cybercriminal forum XSS.is was arrested in Ukraine, with the assistance of the French police and Europol, the French Public Prosecutor's Office said on Wednesday.
Active since 2013, this forum was one of the main hubs for global cybercrime. It facilitated the sale of malware, access to compromised systems, stolen data, and ransomware-related services. The forum was paired with an encrypted Jabber messaging server, facilitating anonymous exchanges between cybercriminals, the statement added.
