Breach Forums Closes Permanently

[169]

“I will be taking down the forum, as I believe we can assume that nothing is safe anymore,” an admin for BreachForums named “Baphomet” wrote in a Telegram channel on Monday. 
 Following Fitzpatrick’s arrest, a BreachForums admin named Baphomet emerged on Friday, claiming they’d assume ownership over the site.

“I have most, if not all the access necessary to protect BF infrastructure and users,” Baphomet initially wrote
 
At the time, Baphomet found no evidence that showed BreachForums had been compromised. The admin then proceeded to temporarily shut the site down in an effort to fix bugs. But on Monday night, Baphomet threw in the towel on maintaining BreachForums.

“I know that everyone wants the forum up, but there is no value in short term gain for what will likely be a long term loss by propping up Breached as it is,” Baphomet wrote. 



Still, Baphomet indicates BreachForums could reemerge.

“I want to make it clear, that while this initial announcement is not positive, it's not the end,” the admin wrote.

“I'm going to set up another Telegram group for those who want to see what follows. You are allowed to hate me, and disagree with my decision but I promise what is to come will be better for us all.” 

Baphomet explained that while he was migrating the forum’s severs, he found that someone had logged into one of the servers before they did.

“Unfortunately this likely leads to the conclusion that someone has access to Poms machine. Any servers we use are never shared with anyone else, so someone would have to know the credentials to that server to be able to login. I now feel like I’m put into a position where nothing can be assumed safe, whether its our configs, source code, or information about our users – the list is endless,” Baphomet wrote.

“This means that I can’t confirm the forum is safe, which has been a major goal from the start of this shitshow.”
 “As for what this means now, It’s complicated. Unlike when other communities go down and everyone scatters, stupidly I will still be around,” they wrote.
 
“While the community of Breached will die, I’m going to continue conversations with some of the competitor forum admins and various service operators who reached out to me over the past few days. I’m hoping to work with some of those people to build a new community, that will have the best features of Breached, while reducing the attack surfaces we never properly addressed. As with things like this, I have no doubt our userbase may be absorbed by another community but if there is patience then I hope to bring something back that will rival any other community that can take our place.”

any alternative forum alike?

Hi

There are alternatives.
An example is the Russian XSS Forum.

The problem is that these Forums, although very good and old, are not western like Raid Forums and Breach were.
This seems to be a detail, but it is, and it greatly influences the trust placed in the Forums, since it is sensitive to operate through them.

Much can be said about it.

For now, all purchase/sale operations from leaks or hacks go to the deep web
