Law Enforcement Operation Seizes Fake ID Platform VerifTools

A joint U.S.-Dutch law enforcement operation shut down VerifTools, a platform selling fake IDs used in various cybercrimes.

VerifTools offered counterfeit identification documents for as little as $9, facilitating crimes like phishing, help desk fraud, and bypassing financial verification checks.
