Slilpp has been shut down, with arrests made. Slilpp was a marketplace which dealt with accounts for payment processors and retailers. These accounts were stolen and many of the buyers engaged in fraud.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced today that a multinational operation took down Slilpp, the largest online marketplace of stolen login credentials.

Law enforcement agencies from the United States, Germany, the Netherlands, and Romania seized servers used to host Slilpp's marketplace infrastructure and its domain names.

The marketplace's websites are now replaced with a seizure banner on the clear web and displaying an invalid onionsite address error on the dark web.

During the international operation, the FBI worked in coordination with prosecutors and investigators from several jurisdictions worldwide.

Agencies involved in Slilpp's taken down include Germany's Bundeskriminalamt, the Netherlands' National High Tech Crime Unit, and Romania's Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism.

"Slilpp is the largest marketplace of compromised accounts ever seen in the criminal underground," Advanced Intelligence CEO Vitali Kremez told BleepingComputer.

"The marketplace was responsible for major inflows of compromised data resulting in millions of dollars of illicit profits to the administrators."

Thanks. So what can be learned from this takedown, what mistake(s) did Slipp Marketplace make to end up like that?

The story always ends the same for people that sell bank/payment details clearnet. I've seen it about a dozen times. If their registrar/hosting is in a country that forbids it (or has treaties), it's likely a van is already on the way. There is nothing G-men target more than credit card fraud, which is why we've always steered clear.
