Joker's Stash, the largest dark web marketplace notorious for selling compromised payment card data, has announced plans to shut down its operations on February 15, 2021.

In a message board post on a Russian-language underground cybercrime forum, the operator of the site — who goes by the name "JokerStash" — said "it's time for us to leave forever" and that "we will never ever open again," according to twin reports from cybersecurity firms Gemini Advisory and Intel471.

"Joker goes on a well-deserved retirement. Joker's Stash is closing," the post read. "When we opened years ago, nobody knew us. Today we are one of the largest cards/dumps marketplace[s]."
The exact reason for the shut down is still unclear.

Gemini Advisory pointed to Bitcoin's recent spike as another reason that may have led to the website's demise.

The site's administrator had a few parting words of advice for cybercriminals.

"We are also want to wish all young and mature ones cyber-gangsters not to lose themselves in the pursuit of easy money (sic)," the post concluded. "Remember, that even all the money in the world will never make you happy and that all the most truly valuable things in this life are free."

The announcement came on the heels of a turbulent year for the major cybercrime store, and just weeks after U.S. and European authorities seized a number of its servers.
