Description
RaidForums.com was a now-defunct illegal website and online forum that was known for facilitating the exchange and sale of stolen data, including leaked databases, login credentials, and personal information obtained through data breaches and hacking activities. The site attracted a wide range of cybercriminals and data traders who shared or sold sensitive data harvested from various sources.
Launched in 2015, RaidForums became one of the most prominent platforms for database leaks until it was taken down by law enforcement in early 2022. It included sections for database trading, hacking discussions, and general off-topic conversations. Despite attempts to disguise its purpose under the guise of a discussion board, the majority of its traffic revolved around cybercrime and privacy violations.
Law enforcement agencies, including Europol and the FBI, coordinated to seize the site and arrest its administrators as part of a broader crackdown on cybercrime marketplaces.
