FBI Atlanta and *Indonesian* police took down w3ll[.]store.

The scheme centered on the "W3LL phishing kit," a tool sold for ~$500 that let criminals build fake login pages to steal usernames, passwords, and bypass security. An online marketplace called W3LLSTORE sold access to 25,000+ compromised accounts from 2019–2023. After the store shut down, the operation moved to encrypted messaging apps.

Between 2023–2024, the kit was used to target 17,000+ victims worldwide. On April 10, the alleged developer (identified only as "G.L.") was detained in Indonesia and the infrastructure was seized.
