The infamous hacker forum BreachForums has been shut down after its administrator was arrested earlier this week.
The decision was announced on Telegram by a forum member and administrator.
A BreachForums admin named baphomet stated that the decision would likely be temporary.
- The administrator continued by saying that they intend to bring BreachForums back online soon, but at the moment, keeping the forum active is too risky.
- Earlier this week, Conor Brian Fitzpatrick was arrested after an FBI investigation and charged with conspiracy to commit access device fraud.
- He is set to appear in a federal court session on Friday.
- The FBI stated that Fitzpatrick confirmed being the owner and administrator of BreachForums.
