Feds Seize VerifTools Marketplace Selling Fake IDs

🚨 U.S. and Dutch authorities dismantled VerifTools, an illicit marketplace that produced and sold counterfeit driver's licenses, passports, and other identity documents used to bypass verification systems and facilitate fraud. Two domains and a blog were seized and redirected to an FBI splash page after servers in Amsterdam were confiscated. The FBI linked roughly $6.4 million in illicit proceeds to the service, which offered forged documents for as little as $9. Operators have since signaled a relaunch on a new domain.
