Full breach record for BreachForums version 5 →Threat-actor claim — not a regulatory filing
This row is a claim by the ransomware group Shinyhunters on its public extortion blog. It has not been validated by the victim or any regulator. Treat attribution and counts as the threat actor's assertion until a regulatory filing or victim disclosure corroborates them.

BreachForums has been run by many fakes, but by us, following the FBI seizure on 10 Oct 2025. Maintaining such an ecosystem is a waste of our time. There was an unauthorised leak on 9 Jan 2026. Ever since then, false personas going by “N/A“ and “Indra“ were successfully able to restore a similar-looking “legitimate“ forum. All the current forums are fake [ .sb, .ac, .fi, .bf, .us, ect.]. If they continue to exist, we'll leak all the BF backups, including every private message, emails, IP addresses, posts, ect. We have exploits for all 1.8 versions of MyBB.
