Russian law enforcement has arrested the alleged administrator of the LeakBase cybercrime forum, which facilitated the trading of stolen personal databases since 2021. The suspect, from Taganrog, had technical equipment seized during the arrest. The forum hosted hundreds of millions of user accounts and sensitive information, allowing over 147,000 users to engage in fraudulent activities. LeakBase was dismantled earlier this month, identified as a major hub for cybercriminals by the U.S. Department of Justice, with a significant amount of stolen data involved.
