ShinyHunters regains control of BreachForums after seizure by FBI

被 FBI 扣押后，ShinyHunters 重新控制了 BreachForums

​
In a significant crackdown on cybercrime, law enforcement agencies seized BreachForums, a well-known platform used by attackers to exchange stolen data, on Wednesday, 15 May. Visitors to the website were met with a seizure notification, indicating that the FBI and the Department of Justice had taken down the site with the help of international partners. The authorities claimed to have accessed the website’s backend data, which is currently under investigation.

在对网络犯罪的重大打击中，执法机构于5月15日星期三查获了BreachForums，这是一个黑客用来交换被盗数据的知名平台。该网站的访问者收到了扣押通知，联邦调查局和司法部已在国际合作伙伴的帮助下关闭了该网站。当局声称已访问该网站的后端数据，目前正在调查中。

Additionally, the associated Telegram channel used for communications among users of the sites has also been seized by the FBI. The FBI has also launched a dedicated website for victims whose data was compromised on BreachForums. According to the site’s description, the version of BreachForums that was seized operated from June 2023 until May 2024.

此外，用于网站用户之间通信的相关Telegram频道也已被FBI查封。FBI还为BreachForums中数据遭到泄露的受害者推出了专门的网站。根据该网站的描述，被查获的BreachForums的运行时间为2023年6月至2024年5月。

This seizure marks a series of setbacks for BreachForums, starting with the arrest of Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, also known as Pompompurin, a suspected former curator of the forum, in March 2023. Despite going offline temporarily, the forum resurfaced under new administration by an individual known as Baphomet. However, the notorious hacker group ShinyHunters reportedly took control of the site on June 2nd, 2023, leading to a subsequent hack that exposed the user database.

这次扣押标志着BreachForums遭遇了一系列挫折，首先是2023年3月逮捕了疑似该论坛前馆长的康纳·布莱恩·菲茨帕特里克 (Conor Brian Fitzpatrick)，又名庞波普林 (Pompompurin)。尽管该论坛暂时离线，但在新的管理下，该论坛重新上线，新的管理员被称为巴风特（Baphomet）。然而，据报道，臭名昭著的黑客组织ShinyHunters于2023年6月2日接手了该网站，主导了随后的黑客攻击，导致用户数据库的数据暴露。

In an unexpected twist of events, the threat actors behind BreachForums had seemingly regained control of the domain and redirected users to a newly created Telegram group. In a message signed with PGP encryption, the ShinyHunters cybercrime group confirmed the FBI’s arrest of their administrator, Baphomet. The group expressed uncertainty about the forum’s future and assured members they would keep informed on new developments.

在突发的扣押事件下，BreachForums背后的参与者似乎重新获得了对该域的控制，并将用户重定向到一个新创建的Telegram群组。在一条用PGP加密签名的消息中，ShinyHunters网络犯罪组织证实了FBI逮捕了他们的管理员Baphomet。该组织对论坛的未来表示不确定，并向成员保证他们将随时了解新的进展。

While numerous reports suggest that Baphomet’s arrest has taken place, the FBI has yet to confirm this information. Nonetheless, the FBI’s ongoing investigation into these criminal hacking forums stresses the agency’s commitment to combating cyber threats and protecting individuals from data breaches. Victims or individuals with relevant information are encouraged to come forward and assist in these investigations.

尽管大量报道表明巴风特已被捕，但联邦调查局尚未证实这一信息。尽管如此，联邦调查局对这些犯罪黑客论坛的持续调查强调了当局对打击网络威胁和保护个人免受数据泄露的承诺。我们鼓励受害者或掌握相关信息的个人挺身而出并协助这些调查。
