The FBI, DOJ and international partners seized BreachForums—a prominent clear‑net marketplace for stolen credentials, breached databases, hacking tools and other contraband—taking down the site and associated Telegram channels (including those tied to admins like Baphomet/ShinyHunters). The action follows a prior seizure and rapid reconstitution of the forum; authorities have also published a reporting portal for information related to the site, though it is unclear whether arrests accompanied this latest takedown.
