 Law enforcement agencies worldwide have coordinated to take down one of the world’s largest hacker forums, scoring a victory against cybercrime.
BreachForums, a notorious marketplace for stolen data, was seized by the authorities on Wednesday, according to a message on its website.

The message described how the authorities are "reviewing" the site's "backend data" and inviting victims and anyone with information about cybercriminal activity on BreachForums to contact the FBI via Telegram, email, or the web.
 The site was seized just days after a hacker offered data for sale on BreachForums that he claimed had been stolen during the breach of a Europol web portal.
