Baphomet Revives BreachForums: Return of the Infamous Cybersecurity Platform

In recent days, BreachForums, one of the most well-known dark web hacking forums on the dark web, was reported to be shut down after one of its top administrators was arrested by United States federal authorities, including the Federal Bureau of Information (FBI). 

A dark web forum named BreachForums was a popular cybercrime forum. It has grown to become a significant platform for trafficking illicit content on the dark web. 

A wide range of topics were discussed on the site, including issues related to breaches of personal information, hacking, phishing, exploiting, and fraud against financial institutions. Many of its users are involved in trading various types of stolen information, including databases, documents, and compromised accounts that contain email addresses, passwords, and credit card details, such as stolen addresses, passwords, and credit card numbers. Threat actors and cybercriminals used the forum as a means to communicate with each other. 

On March 20, 2023, BreachForums, which had been one of the most popular forums for hacking and data leaks this year, will cease to exist. Conor Brian Fitzpatrick (also known as ‘pompompurin’) has been arrested for a crime relating to the website and has had the site closed down. There was a remaining administrator of the forum, Baphomet, who claimed that the servers of the forum were accessed by law enforcement, which caused him to shut it down.
