"The forum, known as LeakBase, had established itself as a central hub in the cybercrime ecosystem, specialising in the trade of leaked databases and so-called "stealer logs" - archives of stolen credentials harvested through infostealer malware. Accessible on the open web and operating in English, the platform combined elements of a forum and discussion board, enabling cybercriminals to buy, sell and exchange compromised data."
"On 3 March, law enforcement authorities carried out coordinated enforcement actions across multiple jurisdictions, including arrests, house searches and "knock-and-talk" interventions. Around 100 enforcement actions were conducted worldwide, including measures against 37 of the most active users of the platforms. On 4 March, authorities moved to the technical disruption phase, seizing the forum's domain and replacing it with a law enforcement splash page."
LeakBase operated as a central hub in the cybercrime ecosystem, functioning as a forum and discussion board where criminals bought, sold, and exchanged compromised data and stealer logs containing stolen credentials harvested through infostealer malware. The platform was accessible on the open web and conducted operations in English. Between March 3-4, law enforcement agencies coordinated a multi-jurisdictional operation targeting the forum's infrastructure and users. On March 3, approximately 100 enforcement actions were executed worldwide, including arrests, house searches, and interventions against 37 of the platform's most active users. On March 4, authorities seized the forum's domain and replaced it with a law enforcement splash page. The operation continues with prevention measures aimed at deterring cybercrime and raising awareness of its consequences.
