Rydox cybercriminal marketplace operator pleads guilty following co-conspirator brothers’s deportation

Ardit Kutleshi, a 28-year-old from Kosovo, has pleaded guilty to operating the Rydox cybercriminal marketplace. He was extradited to the US last year to face charges related to running the illicit platform with his brother. The Rydox marketplace was used by cybercriminals to sell stolen personal information and other tools for committing fraud. Kutleshi's brother was previously deported, leading to Kutleshi's extradition. The marketplace provided illegal access to devices among other malicious offerings. Kutleshi's guilty plea follows his extradition and prosecution for his role in the operation.
