Also known as Saim Raza and Manipulators Team, the group has operated online cybercrime marketplaces for over a decade, selling hacking and fraud-enabling tools like phishing kits, malware, and spamming services to "transnational organized crime groups."
Despite temporarily reduced activity after infosec journalist Brian Krebs exposed their operations , the gang used multiple branded shops (promoted on YouTube) across many domains to distribute takedown risks and saturate the underground market to deter competition.
The Cybercrime Team of the East Brabant police unit in the Netherlands started investigating their activity at the end of 2022. Investigators from the United States later joined in a joint action dubbed 'Operation Heart Blocker.'
