\nRaidForums user data leaked online a year after DOJ takedown<\/br>
\n2023-05-30 21:59:35<\/br><\/p>\n

A database containing the details of almost half-a-million RaidForums users has leaked online, a year after the U.S. Department of Justice seized the notorious cybercrime forum.<\/p>\n

The leaked database was posted on Exposed, described<\/a> by security researchers as an up-and-coming forum \u201cwanting to fill the void\u201d left by the recent BreachForums shutdown<\/a>. An Exposed admin, known as \u201cImpotent,\u201d posted the alleged RaidForums user data, which includes the details of 478,000 users, including their usernames, email addresses, hashed passwords and registration dates.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the users that were on raidforums may have been infected,\u201d the admin\u2019s post says. RaidForums had around 550,000 users at the time of its shutdown last year.<\/p>\n

The admin added that some users\u2019 details have been removed from the leak, though it\u2019s unclear how many or the reasoning behind this.<\/p>\n

The exposed data is already likely in the hands of law enforcement following RaidForums\u2019 seizure by U.S. authorities, but may help security researchers investigating the forum\u2019s historic activity.<\/p>\n

RaidForums, which launched in 2015, became one of the world\u2019s largest hacking forums. It was used by cybercriminals to primarily buy and sell stolen databases. That included over a million passwords for cryptocurrency wallet service Gatehub<\/a>, and millions of stolen T-Mobile customer accounts<\/a>. The Lapsus$ hacking group<\/a> also reportedly used<\/a> the hacking forum.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Justice announced that it had seized RaidForums\u2019 website and infrastructure in April 2022 as part of an international law enforcement operation. RaidForums\u2019 administrator, known as \u201cOmnipotent,\u201d and two of his accomplices were also arrested.\u00a0Before the forum\u2019s seizure, hundreds of databases of stolen data containing more than 10 billion unique records for individuals had been offered for sale, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

U.S. law enforcement agencies also recently announced<\/a> that they had arrested a man alleged to be \u201cPompompurin,\u201d the administrator of the infamous BreachForums,\u00a0which arrived following RaidForums\u2019 demise and served the same purpose and audience.<\/p>\n

Days after the arrest, the cybercrime website\u2019s new administrator announced that they were shutting down the forum for good.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
