FBI Seizes BreachForums Hacking Forum Used To Leak Stolen Data (bleepingcomputer.com) 3

The FBI has seized the notorious BreachForums hacking forum that leaked and sold stolen corporate data to other cybercriminals. From a report: The seizure occurred on Wednesday morning, soon after the site was used last week to leak data stolen from a Europol law enforcement portal. The website is now displaying a message stating that the FBI has taken control over it and the backend data, indicating that law enforcement seized both the site's servers and domains. [...] The seizure message also shows the two forum profile pictures of the site's administrators, Baphomet and ShinyHunters, overlaid with prison bars.

FBI Seizes BreachForums Hacking Forum Used To Leak Stolen Data

  • I'm sure expecting someone to refrain must be violating some sort of civil rights...
  • "We are reviewing this site's backend data. If you have information to report about cyber criminal activity on BreachForums, please contact us,

    I guess that really means "We are trying to find people who has used this site. Feel free to tell us who you know that used this site".

    I wish these people explained things clearly :)
