"BreachForums was seized by the FBI and international partners today. This was inevitable and I am not surprised. Neither I and others involved with this group have been arrested. All our BreachForums domains were taken from us by the US Government a few days ago. The era of forums are over. We have conducted a thorough incident response on the BreachForums infrastructure ever since the domains were taken:"
"In the simplest terms, we very likely got hacked by the US Government, considering their splash page is up on the BreachForums onion, it's a clear sign how everything in our control that they wouldn't have been able to reach is gone. For your own safety, security, and sanity keep your opsec in check. I have no doubt the FBI and other international partners involved will be cracking down on many individuals in the next coming few weeks to months."
BreachForums was seized by the FBI and international partners, with all forum domains taken days earlier. No arrests of those involved were claimed at the time of the statement. Incident response revealed that the latest database backup and every backup since 2023 were compromised, escrow databases were exposed, and backend servers were seized or destroyed. The presence of a government splash page on the BreachForums onion is cited as evidence of a likely government compromise. Members are urged to maintain strong operational security. The statement declares the era of forums over and signals an end to further rebuilding efforts.
