One of the world's biggest online marketplaces selling stolen credentials has been shut down following an operation involving a host of law enforcement agencies. Genesis Market was one of the most significant platforms on the criminal market. Its removal will be a huge blow to criminals across the globe.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and European law enforcement agencies have taken down the domains and infrastructure of Genesis Market, one of the world’s most prolific marketplaces for stolen credentials from malware infected computers belonging to consumers and businesses.

Genesis Market was user-friendly, providing users with the ability to search for stolen access credentials based on location and/or account type (e.g., banking, social media, email, etc.). Genesis Market Offered Access to Data Stolen From Over 1.5M Compromised Computers Worldwide and Was a Key Enabler of Ransomware.

Genesis Market traded in digital identities, selling ‘bots’ that contained information harvested from victim devices, which had been infected using malicious attacks. The bots would give criminals access to all the data pertaining to an individual identity, such as cookies, saved logins and autofill form data.
