📌 A joint operation by the FBI and Europol has dismantled LeakBase, a major online forum used by cybercriminals to trade stolen credentials and cybercrime tools. The forum had over 142,000 registered members and hosted more than 215,000 messages as of December 2025. The seizure targeted the domain "leakbase[.]la," which is now inaccessible. No specific arrests or further technical details about the takedown were disclosed in the notice. The operation reflects ongoing efforts by law enforcement to disrupt cybercriminal marketplaces.
