The FBI has seized the domain for WeLeakInfo.com, a site that sold breached data records, after a multinational effort by law enforcement.

The FBI and the District of Columbia explained that the site had harvested over 12 billion records from over 10,000 data breaches, including names, email addresses, usernames, phone numbers, and passwords.

The site disclosed records relating to data breaches of sites including Chegg.com, StockX, Dubsmash, and MyFitnessPal.

The FBI and the District of Columbia worked with the UK's National Crime Agency and the Netherlands National Police Corps on the site seizure, along with the German Bundeskriminalamt and the Police Service of Northern Ireland.

WeLeakInfo isn't the only site to have sold breached data.
