LeakBase Cybercrime and Hacker Forum Seized

The article reports on a coordinated international law-enforcement operation that dismantled LeakBase, an open‑web cybercrime forum that hosted hundreds of millions of stolen credentials, breached datasets, and infostealer logs; investigators seized domains and backend data, executed enforcement actions across 14 countries, and captured user records and IP logs that may deanonymize participants while noting the broader pattern of underground forums reappearing after takedowns.
