FBI Takes Down BreachForums: A Notorious Cybercrime Marketplace Tied To Salesforce Data Extortion

In a concerted cross-border operation, law enforcement agencies from the United States and France have seized control of the clearnet domain breachforums, effectively bringing down another incarnation of the infamous cybercrime marketplace, BreachForums.

The domain now carries a joint seizure notice from the the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), alongside French counterparts — notably the Brigade de Lutte Contre la Cybercriminalité (BL2C) and the Parquet de Paris’s JUNALCO division —supported by the Paris Prosecutor’s Office.
