Key Findings

• On May 15, 2024, the popular English-language deep and dark web (DDW) forum BreachForums was seized by law enforcement agencies in an operation likely coordinated by multiple international law enforcement agencies.
• Since mid-2023, BreachForums has been one of the most popular DDW marketplaces hosting discussions surrounding malicious network access and exploitation, as well as the trading of associated goods such as personally identifying information and personal financial information.
• ZeroFox can neither independently confirm nor deny that a spate of recent posts on the forum advertising the sale of highly sensitive information initiated the law enforcement activity.
• ZeroFox notes the possibility that the law enforcement operation is ongoing, with the potential for further disruption to occur.
