BreachForums Displays Message About Shutdown, Cites MyBB 0day Flaw

BreachForums posts a PGP-signed message explaining the sudden April 2025 shutdown. Admins cite MyBB 0day vulnerability impacting the site, plan return, deny seizure, and warn of clones.

In early April 2025, the well-known cybercrime and data breach forum BreachForums disappeared from the internet without explanation. The forum, administered and owned by the hacker group ShinyHunters, went offline without any farewell note or clarification, triggering widespread speculation about a possible law enforcement seizure.

Despite these concerns, DNS records for BreachForums remained unchanged, showing the original nameservers at DDoS-Guard, not the typical Cloudflare nameservers seen when the FBI seizes criminal infrastructure. This consistency hinted that the site had not fallen into the hands of authorities but left many questions unanswered.
