The Good, The Bad And The Ugly In Cybersecurity - Week 30
SentinelOne, Friday, July 25th, 2025
After a 12-year long run, XSS[.]is (formerly DaMaGeLaB) faced major disruptions this week with the arrest of its suspected administrator as part of a joint operation led by French and Ukrainian authorities.
The Russian-speaking cybercrime forum had been active since 2013 with nearly 50,000 users and acted as a popular hub for stolen data, hacking tools, and ransomware services. Authorities also seized its clearnet domain.
The suspected administrator, also linked to the private messaging site thesecure[.]biz, is believed to have earned over 7 million Euros from advertising and facilitating criminal transactions.
