FBI has taken down Cracked.to, Nulled.to, and a few other hack sites cybercriminals use for dropping stolen credentials, software cracks, and remote desktop hacks in a coordinated law enforcement operation.

In Operation Talent, several domains suspected of facilitating hacking activities have been busted with a law-enforcement “seizure” notice now showing up on their landing.

“This website, as well as the information on the customers and victims of the websites, has been seized by international law enforcement partners,” reads the notice.

Among the seized domains are Sellix.io, an online platform for cross-border financial services, reportedly misused for illicit activities, and StarkRDP.io, an RDP service allegedly used for unauthorized access and system distribution.

According to the notice, the operation was conducted by the FBI with its international partners which included Europol (European Union), Federal Criminal Police Office (Germany), Australian Federal Police (AFP), and Hellenic Police (Greece), among others.

Hack sites confirmed takedown

On 29th January, several X users reported all the seized sites had their nameservers changed to FBI-controlled ns1.fbi.seized.gov/ns2.fbi.seized.gov, without a seizure banner yet. A few hours later, a law enforcement banner started appearing on these sites.
