While consumers are usually the ones worried about their information being exposed in data breaches, it's now the hacker's turn, as the notorious Breached cybercrime forum's database is up for sale and member data shared with Have I Been Pwned.
Yesterday, the Have I Been Pwned data breach notification service announced that visitors can check if their information was exposed in a data breach of the Breached cybercrime forum.
Baphomet later launched a new Breached Forums clone with another data breach seller known as Shiny Hunters.
"The Breached database is currently being sold by a threat actor going by the name 'breached db person," who told BleepingComputer they shared the database with Have I Been Pwned to prove its authenticity to potential buyers.
Just recently, the seized RaidForums data breach forum also suffered a data breach, and the new BreachedForums clone had its database leaked.
