Cybersecurity: Threats and Defences: North Macedonia holds alleged OLVX adminBackground
OLVX is an online market for stolen personal data, login credentials and tools used in fraud. It gave sellers a shared platform through which they could offer compromised information to buyers.
In mid-October 2026, police in North Macedonia, working with the FBI, arrested the market's alleged administrator. North Macedonian police said the suspect ran OLVX. The service hosted more than 1,500 seller accounts trading stolen data. The arrest targeted the person accused of running the platform rather than any single seller account.
The administrator claim remains an allegation by police. The public account does not establish the suspect's guilt, identify the market's buyers and sellers, or say whether every service and domain linked to OLVX stopped operating after the arrest. It also does not give a verified total for the people whose data appeared on the market.
