The Security Service of Ukraine established and detained a hacker known as “Sanix”.
At the beginning of last year, he attracted the attention of world cybersecurity experts by posting on one of the forums an announcement about the sale of a database with 773 million email addresses and 21 million unique passwords. In January 2019, The Guardian, Forbes and Newsweek wrote about him, the Italia 1 channel dedicated the story to him, because the database that he put up for sale was "the largest ever stolen data array."
Experts have found that the 87 gigabyte database put up by the hacker for sale makes up only a small fraction of the total amount of data that he has taken over.
The hacker had at least seven similar databases of stolen and broken passwords, the total amount of which reached almost terabytes.
They included personal, including financial, data from residents of the European Union and North America. The Ukrainian Security Service received information that the hacker with the pseudonym “Sanix” is probably a Ukrainian, a resident of the Ivano-Frankivsk region.
SBU cyber specialists recorded sales of databases with usernames and passwords for e-mail accounts, PIN codes for bank cards, electronic cryptocurrency wallets, PayPal accounts, information about computers broken for future use in botnets and organizing DDoS attacks. In the framework of criminal proceedings on the grounds of crimes under Part 2 of Art. 361, part 1 of article 361-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the attacker is detained. During searches at his place of residence, law enforcement officers seized computer equipment with two terabytes of stolen information, phones with evidence of illegal activity and cash received from illegal operations in the amount of almost 190,000 hryvnias and more than $ 3,000.
A hacker is preparing a notice of suspicion of unauthorized interference with the operation of computers and of unauthorized sale or distribution of information with limited access that is stored in computers. The special operation was carried out in conjunction with the cyber police, investigators of the National Police under the procedural leadership of the prosecutor's office.

PS If someone bought something, it's probably better to change the cart .
