Five alleged members of hacking group InfinityBlack got some unexpected visitors last week when Polish law enforcement arrested them.
InfinityBlack was a hacking group that specialised in stealing and distributing sets of online credentials known as combos, especially for loyalty rewards points accounts.
The whole thing was fronted by an online service selling subscriptions to access stolen data.
Swiss police collared them in five arrests in between 30 April and 2 May. After searching seized computers, they obtained enough data to trace the sale back to the Polish hackers.
The police seized over €100,000 in assets during raids across five regions in the country.
