Exploring the digital black market on the dark web provides insights into the products and services available. One such forum, BreachForums, has become a notorious hub for cybercriminal activities.

What is the dark web?

The dark web is a hidden part of the internet, accessible only through specific browsing software like Tor, focusing on user anonymity. It serves both legitimate and illegal activities, with the sale of stolen data and contraband being prevalent.

What is BreachForums?

BreachForums, initially launched as RaidForums, was created in 2015 by Portuguese hacker Diogo Santos Coelho. The forum quickly evolved into a central hub for selling stolen credentials. Seized by law enforcement in 2022, it was later re-established and remains active today.

BreachForums continues to operate as a major cybercrime platform despite repeated seizures, attracting both criminals and law enforcement scrutiny.
