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.

在對網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪的重大打擊中，執(zhí)法機(jī)構(gòu)于5月15日星期三查獲了BreachForums，這是一個黑客用來交換被盜數(shù)據(jù)的知名平臺。該網(wǎng)站的訪問者收到了扣押通知，聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局和司法部已在國際合作伙伴的幫助下關(guān)閉了該網(wǎng)站。當(dāng)局聲稱已訪問該網(wǎng)站的后端數(shù)據(jù)，目前正在調(diào)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，用于網(wǎng)站用戶之間通信的相關(guān)Telegram頻道也已被FBI查封。FBI還為BreachForums中數(shù)據(jù)遭到泄露的受害者推出了專門的網(wǎng)站。根據(jù)該網(wǎng)站的描述，被查獲的BreachForums的運(yùn)行時間為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.

這次扣押標(biāo)志著BreachForums遭遇了一系列挫折，首先是2023年3月逮捕了疑似該論壇前館長的康納·布萊恩·菲茨帕特里克 (Conor Brian Fitzpatrick)，又名龐波普林 (Pompompurin)。盡管該論壇暫時離線，但在新的管理下，該論壇重新上線，新的管理員被稱為巴風(fēng)特（Baphomet）。然而，據(jù)報道，臭名昭著的黑客組織ShinyHunters于2023年6月2日接手了該網(wǎng)站，主導(dǎo)了隨后的黑客攻擊，導(dǎo)致用戶數(shù)據(jù)庫的數(shù)據(jù)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.

在突發(fā)的扣押事件下，BreachForums背后的參與者似乎重新獲得了對該域的控制，并將用戶重定向到一個新創(chuàng)建的Telegram群組。在一條用PGP加密簽名的消息中，ShinyHunters網(wǎng)絡(luò)犯罪組織證實了FBI逮捕了他們的管理員Baphomet。該組織對論壇的未來表示不確定，并向成員保證他們將隨時了解新的進(jìn)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.

盡管大量報道表明巴風(fēng)特已被捕，但聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局尚未證實這一信息。盡管如此，聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局對這些犯罪黑客論壇的持續(xù)調(diào)查強(qiáng)調(diào)了當(dāng)局對打擊網(wǎng)絡(luò)威脅和保護(hù)個人免受數(shù)據(jù)泄露的承諾。我們鼓勵受害者或掌握相關(guān)信息的個人挺身而出并協(xié)助這些調(diào)查。
