Russia arrests alleged owner of cybercrime forum LeakBase, report says

On Wednesday, Russian police arrested the alleged administrator of the cybercrime forum LeakBase, according to the state-owned news agency TASS.

LeakBase was, as the U.S. Department of Justice put it, “one of the world’s largest online forums for cybercriminals” for sharing hacking tools and passwords. Earlier this month, U.S. authorities and Europol announced that they had shut down LeakBase’s official site, and seized its database of more than 142,000 members and 215,000 messages.
