The article describes the prosecution and sentencing of Conor Brian Fitzpatrick (alias “pompompurin”), creator/administrator of BreachForums — a large cybercrime forum that sold stolen databases, PII, account credentials, bank data, hacking tools, and escrow services, impacting millions of U.S. individuals and hundreds of organizations. Fitzpatrick pleaded guilty and received time served plus 20 years supervised release with restrictions; law enforcement seized domains in 2023 but the forum was later resurrected by another criminal group.
