Platform For Leaking Stolen Data ‘Breach Forum’ Closed Breach Forum, a platform used to leak data stolen by cybercriminals, has been shut down. The Breach Forum will be closed after the American investigative body ‘Federal Bureau of Investigation’ (FBI) seized it last week.
According to the international media, the FBI seized the platform after stealing the sensitive data of the European Union’s legal body ‘The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation’ (Europol), and placed it on the Breach Forum.
Now when you open this website, you see a message that the FBI has taken control of the site. It seems likely that the FBI has seized both the site’s server and domain.
The notice also mentioned that the FBI is currently analyzing the backend of the site. “If you have any information, please contact us,” a link to the Breach forum was provided.
As the FBI claims, if they have the backend data of Breach Forums, they may have users’ emails, IP addresses, private messages, and other information. So that the hackers who threaten to leak data can be controlled by the FBI.
The FBI has also taken control of Breach Forum’s Telegram channel. The data of some Nepalese companies were also put up for sale on the Breach forum. Some time ago, a person who tried to sell sensitive data of Nepal Rastra Bank through Breach Forum was arrested.
Similarly, the data of 20,000 users of the Nepali platform Rezha, which is an alternative to Tiktok, was also leaked in the Breach forum. Apart from that, most of the company’s data and sensitive details used to be coming to the Breach Forum.
