BreachForums
↗
forum
BreachForums is an English-language underground cybercrime forum primarily used for the distribution, sale, and discussion of stolen databases, leaked credentials, and hacking tools. The platform emerged in 2022 as a successor to the previously seized RaidForums community and quickly became one of the most prominent marketplaces for breached data and cybercriminal collaboration.
The forum typically hosts sections dedicated to database leaks, exploit discussions, initial access sales, and various cybercrime-related services. Over time, BreachForums has been associated with multiple high-profile data leaks involving millions or even billions of personal records.
The platform has experienced several shutdowns, domain seizures, and law-enforcement interventions. Its founder, Conor Brian Fitzpatrick (alias “pompompurin”), was arrested in 2023, after which control of the forum shifted between various administrators and hacking groups. The site periodically reappears under different domains due to law-enforcement pressure and infrastructure disruptions.
