U.S. Seizes 145 Domains, Crypto in BidenCash Dark Web Crackdown

• U.S. law enforcement seized 145 domains and digital assets linked to BidenCash in a major dark web crackdown.
• The site leaked over 3.3 million stolen card records and made $17 million selling personal info and login credentials.

In a major crackdown on cybercrime, U.S. authorities have taken down 145 domains tied to BidenCash, a well-known dark web marketplace. They also seized an unknown amount of crypto connected to the site. BidenCash was a go-to spot for buying and selling stolen credit card data and loads of personal info, which played a big role in tons of identity theft and fraud online. The feds officially took it down on June 5, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Virginia.

Turns out, BidenCash wasn’t just flipping stolen credit card data—they were handing it out too. Between October 2022 and February 2023, the site dumped over 3.3 million hacked card records for free. Investigators say it was a straight-up marketing play to attract more eyeballs, and lock in clout among cybercriminals hunting for quick access to stolen data.

BidenCash was also dealing with hacked login credentials like usernames and passwords scooped up through phishing scams and malware. They’d sell off the stolen logins, and buyers would use them to break into personal accounts or even internal systems. That kind of access didn’t just mess with everyday people—it put whole companies at risk.

As part of the takedown, officials seized 145 domains tied to the marketplace. If you try visiting them now, they just redirect to a law enforcement notice, basically making it clear the site’s been wiped out—and sending a loud message to anyone running similar shady platforms.

Ongoing Cybercrime Enforcement

The takedown was led by the U.S. Secret Service’s Frankfurt Resident Office and Cyber Investigative Section, with backup from the FBI’s Albuquerque Field Office. They worked together across borders to shut down BidenCash’s digital setup and freeze its money flow.

This isn’t the first time law enforcement’s made a move like this. The BidenCash bust is part of a bigger global push to clamp down on cybercrime and dark web marketplaces. Just last month, in May 2025, Operation RapTor—an international joint op—took out multiple dark web drug markets. That one ended with 270 arrests across ten countries and over $200 million in cash and crypto getting seized.

The BidenCash takedown shows just how far U.S. cybercrime teams have come in working together and pulling off complex operations. It also lines up with the government’s bigger push to keep the digital world safer, protecting people from identity theft, data leaks, and getting ripped off. Officials say moves like this are key to keeping trust in online systems strong and slowing down the growing wave of cybercrime.
