A Russian man was sentenced to 30 months in prison for running a website that sold stolen credit card data and other personal information to cybercriminals, according to a Department of Justice announcement. The Russian man, Kirill Victorovich Firsov, was first arrested last year, and pleaded guilty to hacking-related charges in January. Firsov was accused of having run the site, Deer.io, which hosted other cybercriminals’ shops, since 2013. Users could create accounts on Deer.io, using the platform as a foundation for their own sales. Deer.io raked in $17 million worth of sales and sold at least $1.2 million in U.S.-based stolen information, according to the Department of Justice. Many of transactions involved Americans’ names, current addresses, telephone numbers, and Social Security numbers.

A Russian computer security researcher has pleaded guilty to hacking-related charges in connection with U.S. law enforcement action against an internet marketplace where buyers purchased access to stolen personal data. Kirill Firsov, a Russian national, acknowledged his involvement with Deer.io, an illicit web hosting service that enabled scammers to operate independent web stores where they sold access to hacked web accounts and other services. The U.S. Department of Justice shuttered the website in March 2020, weeks after Firsov was arrested at John F. Kennedy airport in New York City. Firsov admitted his role in running Deer.io when he was apprehended at the airport, the plea deal states. He now faces up to 10 years in prison. Deer.io claimed to have more than 24,000 active websites with sales exceeding $17 million, the Justice Department said last year.

U.S. authorities have arrested a Russian man accused of running an illicit service where buyers allegedly have spent years purchasing stolen data and hacked web accounts. In a complaint unsealed March 9, the FBI accused Kirill Victorovich Frisov of operating Deer.io, a web hosting service where subscribers can host independent stores online for roughly $250. The site, which remains online, is based in Russia, outside the reach of U.S. law enforcement, and advertises itself as the home of more than 24,000 accounts with more than $17 million in sales.
