FBI seized BreachForums, including telegram channel

FBI has seized hacking forum “BreachForums” popularly known as a Breached hacking forum in the underground market on Wednesday morning for the second time in a year, soon after the site was used last week to leak data stolen from a Europol law enforcement portal.

Now the site displays a message stating that the website and its backend data are now under the control of the FBI.  The seizure message reads, “This website has been taken down by the FBI and DOJ with assistance from international partners,”.

According to Dark web intelligence, ” BreachForums appears to have been seized by law enforcement agencies, yet there is no official announcement. Both the clearnet domain and the TOR domain currently display the following message.”

“From June 2023 until May 2024, BreachForums (hosted at breachforums.st/.cx/.is/.vc and run by ShinyHunters) was operating as a clearnet marketplace for cybercriminals to buy, sell, and trade contraband, including stolen access devices, means of identification, hacking tools, breached databases, and other illegal services,” the agencies said.
