FBI Shuts Down BreachForums, Seizes Data and Telegram Channels

The notorious cybercrime marketplace was taken offline following the leak of Europol data, marking a significant blow to online data trafficking.

BreachForums operated as a marketplace for stolen data, including passwords and customer records.
The FBI and international partners seized the site's servers, domains, and Telegram channels.
Authorities now have access to backend data, potentially exposing users' email addresses and IPs.
BreachForums had resurfaced multiple times after previous takedowns, including its predecessor, RaidForums.
The latest takedown follows the arrest of a key administrator and the leak of sensitive Europol data.
