In a major development against global cybercrime, French authorities have apprehended several key individuals believed to be instrumental in operating BreachForums, a notorious online marketplace where stolen data is bought and sold.
The arrests, executed by France’s Cybercrime Brigade (BL2C) earlier this week, target figures deeply entrenched in high-profile data breaches and persistent attempts to revive the illicit forum after previous takedowns.
A press release from the Paris Public Prosecutor’s Office confirms that four individuals, identified by their online handles ShinyHunters, Hollow, Noct, and Depressed, all in their twenties, were detained on Monday.
