"US Authorities Seize BreachForums Domain"

The US government has recently captured the surface web domains associated with notorious cybercrime marketplace BreachForums, despite the arrest of the site's owner months ago.  It is currently unclear why it has taken three months to get to this stage following the arrest of Fitzpatrick.  Fitzpatrick, 20, of Peekskill, New York, is accused of operating BreachForums, enabling cybercriminals to trade stolen data and other contraband since March 2022.  The Department of Justice (DoJ) stated that alongside the legitimate BreachForums domains, the Feds have also seized one that used to be owned by "Pompompurin" but is currently the property of breach notification site DataBreaches.
