An unknown entity has purchased the sanctioned dark web marketplace Genesis Market, despite seizure by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) back in April 2023. Genesis Market is a well-established English/Russian dark web marketplace where threat actors distribute packages, referred to as “bots”, for a set price. These packages commonly contain user account credentials, IP addresses, browser cookie data, and browser fingerprints which provide the means for account takeover from other threat actors. Similar information is sold on other marketplaces such as Russian Market and 2easyShop; however, Genesis does not highlight the malicious programs that were used to collect the package data. Genesis Market was recently sanctioned in April 2023 by the United States, and some of their communicating domains were seized by the FBI. However, despite these obstacles an anonymous user purchased the entire Genesis Market site last week. A statement by the account “GenesisStore” stated, “A buyer has been found and a deposit has been made. The store will be handed over to a new owner next month…Accounts on the forums will not be transferred.” Additional data that will be transferred to the predicted new instance of Genesis includes all databases aside from client data, source code, scripts, and remaining portions of server infrastructure. CTIX continues to monitor threat actor activity worldwide and will provide additional updates accordingly.
