FBI Seizes Hacking Forum BreachForums — Again

For years, BreachForums has been a popular English-language forum for hackers and cybercriminals who wanted to advertise, sell, and trade stolen data. Just recently, a threat actor advertised Dell customers' personal information and data stolen from a Europol portal.

BreachForums has proven resilient. Last year, authorities seized a previous version of the site, three months after arresting its administrator, Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, aka pompompurin. After that, someone going by the online handle Baphomet took over and re-established the site, which had three different domains over the last year, according to the FBI.

ShinyHunters, another BreachForums administrator, did not return a Telegram message requesting comment.
