The takedown<\/a><\/strong>, coordinated by the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, Dutch police, and cybersecurity firms, marks a major blow against illicit cryptocurrency-financed operations.<\/p>\n

BidenCash had operated openly on both the dark web and the clearnet, facilitating the sale of over 15 million stolen credit cards and offering access to hacked systems\u2014generating over $17 million in crypto payments since its launch in 2022.<\/p>\n

Authorities say the platform even distributed millions of stolen cards for free in an aggressive bid to attract more users. Now, its once-active domains\u2014including bidencash.asia\u2014have been replaced with seizure notices from the U.S. government.<\/p>\n
