The alleged administrator of the LeakBase cybercrime forum was arrested in Taganrog, Russia, following a law-enforcement operation that dismantled the platform. LeakBase reportedly hosted hundreds of millions of user accounts, credit/debit card details, banking information, usernames, and passwords, had more than 142,000 members, and facilitated the buying and selling of stolen personal and corporate data; seized forum content has been preserved for evidentiary purposes and reporting links the operator to the online aliases Chucky/beakdaz/Sqlrip.
