N The NCA said: "The suspects are using stolen personal funds to commit more cybercrimes and fraud. Out of 21 wanted persons, 18 have been arrested, all of whom are between 18 and 38 years old and 41,000 in the process. "Bitcoin was seized."

Earlier this January, the FBI NCA, the Dutch National Cyber ​​Force, the German Bundescriminal and the Northern Ireland Police jointly took over the Weleakinfo.com domain.

The service was launched in 2017 and sells more than 12 billion stolen data, including names, email addresses, usernames, phone numbers and passwords for online accounts.
