"Owner of Cybercrime Website BreachForums Sentenced to Supervised Release"

Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, the owner of the infamous cybercrime website BreachForums, was recently sentenced to time served and 20 years of supervised release.  Conor Brian Fitzpatrick of Peekskill, New York, known online as "Pompompurin," was arrested in March 2023.  In April, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit device fraud, access device fraud, and possession of child pornography.  Launched in 2022 and also known as Breached, BreachForums had become a top hacker marketplace when it was taken down in March 2023.  The website reemerged soon after, believed to be run by an individual known online as "Baphomet."  While prosecutors recommended that Fitzpatrick be sentenced to 188 months in prison, a district judge sentenced him to time served on each count and supervised release with special conditions.  He will serve the first two years on home arrest.
