BreachForums got hacked or taken down by FBI?
BreachForums (breachforums.st) a popular hacking forum, has been taken offline again. Dark Storm Team posted on their Telegram that they had initiated DDoS on breachforums website and it was taken offline. Breachforums.st domain name is hosted with ddos-guard.net – a russian web security provider. Breachforums was used to host illicit trading of stolen personal data.
Did FBI seized breachforums again? As of April 18, 2025, rumors have resurfaced that BreachForums may once again have been seized by the FBI. Multiple sources suggest suspicious developments, including HELLCAT ransomware affiliate “Rey” on X and posts from the forum’s Telegram channel. Their telegram channels were taken over by FBI at the same time when Breachforums went offline. This may indicate the said forum was seized by FBI.
I read on a telegram channel that breachforums site was initially hosted (or still hosted) on a VPS rented from The-Online.com and then put unde ddos-guard.net CDN which acts as reverse proxy like Cloudflare to hide the original host and IP address. Is that right?
Indeed The-Online.com was hosting provider for breach-forums. They even hosted 4chan site for a short-time. IDK why breachforums moved to ddos-guard from Cloudflare but there was a leaked chat that it was hosted here at the-online.com VPS. But The-Online.com only suspends or removes the websites on the court order and not FBI or police. So how come breachforums was migrated-out from The Online and hide behind a new web host. I suspect its now hosted with their spectraip or privatelayer in EU or somewhere with a russian web host!
fullzbuy.net domain is also hosted with The-Online.com. I had seen their origin IP before it was hidden behind Cloud-flare. Seems The Online is haven for such black-hat and dark web related sites?
