The FBI and international law enforcement seized BreachForums, an English-language cybercrime marketplace that hosted stolen databases, hacking tools, and illicit services; the forum had been used to advertise large data thefts (including 49M Dell customer addresses and data stolen from a Europol portal). Authorities also took control of the forum’s Telegram channels and published a portal for victims and forum members to submit information, while the report notes prior seizures and the administrators associated with the site (pompompurin, Baphomet, ShinyHunters).
