These forums were known for facilitating the trade of stolen data, hacking tools, and malware, with millions of users. The operation, part of a broader initiative to combat cybercrime, targeted eight domains linked to Cracked and its payment processor, Sellix. Additionally, two anonymity services advertised on these forums were also seized.
