Russian authorities arrest alleged LeakBase admin behind stolen data marketplace

Russian authorities arrested the alleged administrator of LeakBase, an international cybercrime marketplace active since 2021 that sold stolen databases and stealer logs. The coordinated international law-enforcement operation (including the FBI and Europol) seized the forum, its database and infrastructure, conducted arrests and searches, and generated investigative leads to deanonymize users and trace additional offenders; the disruption aims to prevent further misuse of leaked data.
