A Russian national has been indicted by the US DOJ and added to the FBI's Cyber Most Wanted list for allegedly creating and managing a cybercrime marketplace.
Igor Dekhtyarchuk, a resident of Russia, was indicted in the Eastern District of Texas for running the cybercrime marketplace that sold credit cards, access to compromised devices or accounts, and personal information.
The indictment claims that Dekhtyarchuk launched the marketplace in May 2017 and began promoting it on Russian hacking forums starting with April 2018.
While the indictment did not reveal what cybercrime marketplace was created by Dekhtyarchuk, it did mention that he operated under the alias 'Floraby.
While the site appears to be down, you can see from archived snapshots that BAYACC sold accounts for various companies, including eBay, Amazon, SamsClub, and PayPal, with the prices advertised in Russian Rubles.
"His shop 'BAYACC' largely competed with the account shop giants such as SlilPP for the criminal market share, offering daily updates of free compromised accounts."
