The Ukrainian Secret Service (SSU) announced today the arrest of a
hacker known as Sanix, responsible for selling billions of hacked
credentials on hacking forums and Telegram channels.

The SSU says it arrested Sanix in Ivano-Frankivsk, a city in western Ukraine. Authorities did not release the hacker's name.

Sanix has a long history on underground hacking forums, where he was first spotted operating as far back as 2018.

The
individual was what security experts would call a data broker. He
collected data leaked from hacked companies and assembled the
information in large lists of usernames and passwords.

Sanix would
then resell the data to other threat actors on the cybercrime
underground, such as spam groups, password crackers, account hijackers,
and operators of brute-force botnets.

Besides the collections of usernames and passwords, Ukrainian officials
said Sanix's computer also stored information about PIN codes for bank
cards, cryptocurrency wallets, PayPal account logins, and DDoS botnets.
