The InfinityBlack hacking group, which is responsible for selling millions of stolen credentials, has been dismantled.

"A number of investigation measures by specialists from the Cyber Investigation Division of the Vaud Cantonal Police made it possible to dismantle the InfinityBlack hackers' network, set up to exploit this data to the detriment of businesses," according to Europol's Tuesday announcement.

In addition to selling compromised credentials, Europol said the group is also responsible for creating malware and hacking tools, and carrying out fraud.

"The hackers created a sophisticated script to gain access to a large number of Swiss customer accounts," said Europol.

"Transmitting the data on searched computers between the Swiss and Polish authorities led to the arrest of the hackers in Poland," said Europol.
