FBI captures Dark Web hacker "IntelBroker" through $250 BTC sting operation

Planet Daily News: A British man, Kai West, has been charged with operating under the alias "IntelBroker" on a cybercrime forum and is accused of selling stolen data. The case has caused over $25 million in losses, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York has announced the indictment of Kai West. According to the disclosed indictment information, an undercover law enforcement officer sent a private message to "IntelBroker" to purchase a victim's data for 250 dollars worth of BTC. The other party provided an address belonging to West, and after payment was completed, delivered the data, which reportedly included three administrator-level usernames and passwords. West was subsequently arrested in France in February, and the United States is currently seeking his extradition. (Cointelegraph)
