Ukrainian authorities arrested the suspected administrator of the notorious Russian-language crime forum XSS.is, a significant hub for cybercrime activities since 2013. The arrest followed a joint investigation involving French authorities and Europol, which started nearly four years prior. The forum was known for facilitating the sale of malware and ransomware-related services, generating over $7 million in profits. After identifying the admin through intercepted encrypted messages on Jabber, authorities coordinated the arrest, leading to the forum's shutdown soon after the suspect was detained.
