Europe’s Cybercrime Crackdown: Gilmore Girls Fan Busted in Major Forum Takedown
Operation Talent, a European crackdown, brought down cybercrime hubs Cracked and Nulled, amassing over 9 million users. Authorities seized cash, servers, and merchandise, including a poster from The Gilmore Girls. Suspect Lucas Sohn faces charges related to selling stolen credentials. Meanwhile, a Pakistan-based fraud network also fell under the police radar.
Hot Take:
When cyber crooks are found binge-watching “Gilmore Girls” while running crime forums, maybe they should have taken notes on how Stars Hollow residents resolve issues with a little less hacking and a lot more coffee chats. Perhaps they mistook “Nulled” for a new series spinoff!
Key Points:
- Two major cybercrime forums, Cracked and Nulled, were dismantled by European authorities.
- Operation Talent led to two arrests, along with the seizure of significant assets.
- Lucas Sohn, a suspect linked to Nulled, faces multiple charges in the US.
- Cracked’s illegal activities impacted around 17 million victims in the US.
- A separate action targeted a Pakistan-based fraud network run by Saim Raza.
