BreachForums, a criminal bazaar, has resurfaced despite a law enforcement takedown. The revived site offers a 1.3 TB database of Ticketmaster customers’ details for $500,000, with visitors now required to sign up. Law enforcement seized new domains and the Telegram channel, hinting at administrator arrests. Uncertainty remains around the individual using “ShinyHunters” on the forum.
Key takeaways from the meeting notes:
– BreachForums, a notorious online criminal bazaar, has resurfaced just two weeks after a coordinated law enforcement action dismantled and seized control of its infrastructure.
– Cybersecurity researchers have discovered that a user named ShinyHunters is offering for sale a 1.3 TB database with details of 560 million Ticketmaster customers for $500,000, including sensitive personal and financial information.
– Visitors to the site are now required to sign up for an account in order to access its content.
– Law enforcement seized all new domains belonging to BreachForums and hinted at the possible arrest of the site administrators, Baphomet and ShinyHunters.
– The FBI is reviewing the site’s backend data, and it’s unclear whether the individual using the ShinyHunters persona is the original hacker. The cybersecurity community is considering the possibility that the site may be a honeypot.
– Both the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI have not commented on the takedown or the re-emergence of the forum.
