2022-01-24 20:07

Dark Web forum posts uncovered by Trustwave show that the recent arrests in Russia have triggered major concerns among fellow criminals.

It's these arrests that appear to be causing fear among other cybercriminals.

In a report published on Friday, cybersecurity firm Trustwave revealed chatter on the Dark Web among individuals reacting to the FSB arrests.

Even before the arrests, people were speculating in Dark Web forums about secret negotiations between Russia and the U.S. to crack down on cybercriminals.

With Russia capturing the REvil gang members, some Dark Web commenters fear that the country is no longer a safe haven for their criminal activities.

With a greater fear of arrest, many on the Dark Web have been exchanging tips on how to avoid detection and capture by Russian law enforcement.
