The FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ), with assistance from international partners, have seized BreachForums, a notorious online platform used for trading stolen data. This is the second time in a year that law enforcement agencies have taken down the site. The FBI has also taken control of the forum's Telegram channels. BreachForums, known for leaking and selling corporate data to cybercriminals, has been a key English-language cybercrime forum. The site's administrator, known as Baphomet, has been arrested. Authorities now potentially have access to backend data that could be used to prosecute site users.
