Ransomware & Extortion
RaidForums was an online platform that operated from 2015 until its shutdown in 2022. It became notorious for facilitating the exchange and sale of stolen data, including personal information, credentials, and databases from data breaches. The forum attracted cybercriminals, hackers, and data traders worldwide, making it a major marketplace for illicit data. Law enforcement agencies eventually seized and shut down RaidForums, disrupting its activities. Its closure led to the emergence of similar platforms, such as BreachForums, which attempted to fill the void left by RaidForums in the cybercrime ecosystem.
