U.S. authorities have seized over 145 domains linked to BidenCash, a notorious dark web marketplace that trafficked in stolen credit cards, personal data, and server access credentials.
The seizure marks a significant disruption to one of the internet’s most active platforms for selling illicit financial information.
Earlier today, the dark web domains associated with BidenCash began redirecting to a seizure notice from the U.S. Secret Service, confirming that the marketplace had been taken down in collaboration with the FBI, Dutch National Police, The ShadowServer Foundation, and Searchlight Cyber. A related .asia domain on the clear web was also redirected, though reports suggest that a few mirror domains may still be active.
According to the U.S. Department of Justice, BidenCash had facilitated the sale of over 15 million stolen payment card numbers and personal information from victims around the world, generating more than $17 million in illegal revenue since its launch in March 2022. The marketplace had registered more than 117,000 customers before its shutdown.
BidenCash gained notoriety by publicly leaking massive troves of stolen card data to promote its services. Notably, it released over 1.2 million credit cards in October 2022 and followed up with additional leaks in 2023, including one database with 1.9 million cards. The majority of victims were U.S. residents.
