Hello BreachForums users,
In light of recent reports regarding alleged arrests involving BreachForums operatives, let us clarify unequivocally: none of our administrators have been arrested. The individuals named by law enforcement have never been part of our administration. Furthermore, we confirm that BreachForums infrastructure, code, and data remain uncompromised. As far as we're concerned, it's business as usual.
To address specific misconceptions: IntelBroker was never the actual owner of this forum. The title was intentionally assigned to him to divert attention from us, a strategy that evidently succeeded. He never had any "Owner" or "Administrator" privileges to this forum.
As announced previously, we temporarily closed the forum in April due to an identified zero-day vulnerability in MyBB. That vulnerability has since been patched. Shortly after our initial announcement, our original domain (breachforums.hn) was suspended by our registrar following a request from law enforcement. Please do not believe conspiracy theories posted online and from people spreading FUD.
The recent surge of domain seizures and disruptions across similar communities, including the incident involving XSS.is, has only reinforced our resolve. This isn’t the end, it’s a new beginning. We’ve used this time to regroup, refocus, and prepare for what’s next. The forum is now better positioned than ever to thrive despite the ongoing efforts by law enforcement to disrupt our ecosystem.
The forum remains exactly the same since it was closed; Your accounts, your posts, your reputation, nothing has been lost or altered.
Expect changes in the coming weeks:
- A revamped moderation system that’s more transparent and fair.
- Regular updates to keep you informed about what’s happening behind the scenes.
- More focus on community engagement, because this place is only as strong as the people in it.

We have received multiple complaints regarding the domain name breachforums.hn, including reports from law enforcement authorities as well as end users (so-called "abuse" cases). These complaints indicate that the domain in question points to an online resource where unlawful activity is/was taking place.
Following an internal review and taking into account the seriousness of the information provided, we have concluded that continued operation of the domain presents an unacceptable risk. Consequently, we have decided to suspend the domain name and block it from future registration.
We acknowledge that this decision may cause inconvenience, but we are no longer able to guarantee the integrity of the domain in light of the issues raised. We refer in particular to the following provisions in the domain registration agreement:
1. The statement that you made in the registration process are complete and accurate and that you will maintain and update this information as needed to keep it current, complete and accurate. ST Registry may contact account holder or domain registrant in case of any issues or news/highlights about services provided on nic.st website. You as a customer are free to cancel your account and/or service at any time.
2. To your knowledge, the registration of the domain name will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of any third party according to the laws of São Tomé and Príncipe or any other applicable jurisdiction.
3. You are not registering the domain name for an unlawful purpose.
This decision is final and takes effect immediately.
Sincerely,
