Who Ran Leakedsource.com?
Summary: Krebs on Security reported that law enforcement had seized the servers of Leakedsource.com, a service that from October 2015 sold access to passwords stolen in major breaches, including credentials for LinkedIn and Myspace. Krebs traced the site's principal owner through leaked forum databases, a shared Comcast IP address in Michigan, and PayPal screenshots showing thousands of dollars paid from Leakedsource.com to an account tied to "Alex Davros" and Secure Gaming LLC.
Why it matters: The owner of a service holding billions of stolen credentials was identified largely through the same leaked databases he sold access to, including a PayPal trail from Leakedsource.com and a Michigan Comcast address linked to the FBI's Blackshades list.
