FBI and Europol joint operation shuts down major cybercrime forum LeakBase
According to Cointelegraph, the FBI, Europol, and law enforcement agencies from 14 countries conducted a joint operation on March 3-4, successfully shutting down the cybercrime forum LeakBase. The forum had over 142,000 members and served as a platform for hackers to buy and sell stolen data and cybercrime tools.
Law enforcement has seized user accounts, posts, credit details, private information, and IP logs as evidence, and executed search warrants and arrests in multiple countries. Notably, LeakBase's predecessor, Raidforums, was shut down in 2022 and had hosted leaked data containing personal information of approximately 272,000 users of the cryptocurrency wallet company Ledger. In recent years, data breaches in the cryptocurrency industry have continued to rise, including security incidents such as the hacking of Coinbase's internal systems.
