The US intelligence department FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) on Thursday (6 February 2025) made a big disclosure about cyber crime on the social platform X. The FBI said that last week, the US Department of Justice took action on major cyber crime operated from Pakistan and seized 39 cyber criminal websites and their servers under an international operation.

Was selling dangerous hacking tools

According to the US Department of Justice, Sam Raza, the leader of the cyber criminal gang living in Pakistan, was running these websites. Sam Raza is also known as Heartsender on the dark web. He was selling dangerous hacking tools and websites helping in committing fraud on online websites since 2020.

According to the US Department of Justice, the investigation by US officials has revealed that due to this gang, victims in America have suffered a loss of 3 million dollars (about Rs 25 crore). Also, this Pakistani gang also used to sell online phishing kits and scam pages, which were used for fraud. Not only this, the investigation also revealed that Sam Raza, a resident of Pakistan, also used to train cyber criminals.

Scammers were given training

According to the US Department of Justice, Sam Raja used to upload videos on YouTube and teach scammers how to use his hacking tools and cheat people. Also, these tools were so dangerous that they could dodge any security system and antivirus.

Pakistani cyber criminals used these tools to cheat companies and transfer their money to the wrong account. Also, through these tools, cyber criminals used to commit big scams by stealing people's personal information. Also, according to US officials, the Netherlands police also supported them in this operation.
