A darknet website, UniCC, that since 2013, has sold stolen credit card information to criminals is closing. But not because of international police co-operation but because the criminals running it are retiring!
How much is their estimated retirement fund? £260m.

I was amazed by this quote from the BBC:
“The anonymous owners of UniCC thanked the criminal fraternity for their business,..”
I have been criticised when presenting on cyber security to businesses, by business owners, when I refer to cyber-crime and ransomware as “just business” for the criminals. That quote looks like one any business would give in similar circumstances!
Do you want me to come and present to your organisation or group about cyber-security and challenge how you view your security? Then please get in contact.
