A separate BreachForums administrator under the alias Baphomet immediately posted a message following Pompompurin’s arrest. Baphomet claimed they retained control of the forum’s infrastructure and stated they would keep everyone updated on the situation. After the site went down, Baphomet began using the forum’s Telegram channel to provide updates to the forum’s community. On the morning of March 20th, Baphomet stated the migration process has slowed but claims the forum will return. In the meantime, Binary Defense analysts will look for spikes in activity on other notable criminal forums. BreachForums was a predominantly English-speaking forum. Often times when a forum like Breach is taken down, popular Russian criminal forums will close registration to prevent an influx of English speaking threat actors.
