U.S. Department Seizes Domains connected to Carding Marketplace - Adamantium - 06-05-2025
The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) has seized approximately 145 clearnet and dark web domains linked to the illicit carding marketplace known as BidenCash. This platform facilitated the buying and selling of stolen credit card information and personal data, generating at least $17 million in revenue since its inception in March 2022. BidenCash reportedly supported over 117,000 customers and trafficked more than 15 million payment card numbers and associated personal information. Notably, between October 2022 and February 2023, the platform released 3.3 million stolen credit cards for free to promote its services, with about half of the 2.1 million cards released in February 2023 belonging to U.S.-based individuals or entities.
The marketplace also specialized in selling compromised credentials and offered services such as advertising SSH access for as low as $2, along with packages to assess target servers for vulnerabilities. These offerings posed significant risks, enabling threat actors to conduct activities like data exfiltration, brute-force attacks, ransomware deployment, and unauthorized cryptocurrency mining.
The takedown was part of an international operation led by the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI, in collaboration with the Dutch Politie, the Shadowserver Foundation, and Searchlight Cyber. While the DoJ has not disclosed the value of the confiscated cryptocurrency funds or identified the operators of BidenCash, this action underscores the ongoing efforts of global law enforcement agencies to dismantle cybercriminal infrastructures and protect individuals from identity theft and financial fraud.
