SPOTLIGHT

German law enforcement seized the dark web marketplace Nemesis Market, which boasted a significant user base and vendor count. The authorities not only shut down the site but also confiscated a substantial amount of cryptocurrency. The admin, known as Francis, took to the Dread forums to inform users of the seizure, attributing it to the Lithuanian police and urging vendors and buyers to take precautions. However, Francis later deleted the thread and his username, indicating a change in his situation and hinting at going "on the run."

The telecommunications company allegedly involved in a data breach a couple of years ago is back in the spotlight as data purportedly from their database has resurfaced, this time available for free. Despite the company's denial and insistence that the data doesn't belong to them, some cybersecurity experts believe otherwise, pointing to evidence that suggests otherwise.
