Conor Brian Fitzpatrick (aka "Pompompurin"), the creator and administrator of BreachForums — a major English-language hacking forum used to trade stolen data and sell access to corporate networks — was resentenced to three years in prison after an appeals court vacated his earlier sentence; BreachForums, which grew to over 330,000 members and was linked to stolen data from telecoms, healthcare, investment firms, and government agencies, was seized by the FBI following breaches including D.C. Health Link.
