On July 23rd the notorious Russian-language hacking forum XSS.is was seized by French law enforcement agencies. Interestingly, just a few hours before the takedown, Cyberint, now a Check Point Company researchers were informed by “Loki,” a well-known moderator on BreachForums, that one of XSS’s admins had allegedly been arrested by the French. This follows a series of actions by French authorities, who have arrested BreachForums admins over the past few months.
