The RaidForums #hacker #forum, used by cybercriminals to primarily buy and sell stolen databases, has been shut down and its domains seized by US #law #enforcement as part of an operation coordinated by #Europol that involved law enforcement agencies across numerous countries.

I always thought the police leave the forum open to be informed about #leaks and to #track who buys the data. Now that the forum is closed, the #scene will probably dive deep into the #darknet and be much harder to monitor.
