Data tracking industrial production and the vital retail sector released Friday showed record declines in April, the first full month of lockdowns to stop the spread of COVID-19 virus that has killed nearly 86,000 people and caused around 36.5 million people to lose their jobs in the world's largest economy.

Just like xDedic was shut down in 2019 after making headlines for selling access to hacked RDP endpoints and over 85,000 credentials, it seems that another service will soon be coming under the radar of law enforcement authorities. It’s none other than MagBo, the infamous online marketplace created exclusively to carry out cybercrime activities.
