Cracks Down on Dark Web Marketplace WWH

Two men have been indicted in the U.S. for their alleged involvement in managing a dark web marketplace called WWH Club that specializes in the sale of sensitive personal and financial information

Alex Khodyrev, a 35-year-old Kazakhstan national, and Pavel Kublitskii, a 37-year-old Russian national, have been charged with conspiracy to commit access device fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Khodyrev and Kublitskii, between 2014 and 2024, acted as the main administrators of WWH Club (wwh-club[.]ws) and various other sister sites – wwh-club[.]net, center-club[.]pw, opencard[.]pw, skynetzone[.]org – that functioned as dark web marketplaces, forums, and training centers to enable cybercrime.

reated in 2014, "WWH-Club" has evolved into one of the most active RLCF specializing in carding and banking fraud. Over the years, it has successfully built a substantial community and positioned itself as an educational hub for threat actors looking to enhance their carding expertise. The forum's administration capitalizes on their knowledge by offering training courses to members willing to invest $1200 for a premium membership
