Astounding Accuses Breachforum Leader of Being a Mole
The SecretForum Telegram channel recently disclosed information regarding alleged activities involving Baphomet and BreachForum. According to a former administrator of Blackforums, there are concerns about Baphomet’s status as an informant.
The administrator stated that Baphomet repeatedly sought access to their infrastructure under the guise of wanting to assist with security.
However, the administrator chose to maintain sole control over the servers and denied Baphomet access. Additionally, the SecretForum admin highlighted that Baphomet’s subsequent ban from Jacuzzi 2.0 after being denied access suggests an attempt to silence concerns about its intentions.
Security Concerns with BreachForums
ShinyHunters’ ownership of BreachForums and its construction from old backups raise significant security concerns. Baphomet, the site’s developer, is particularly troubling due to his alleged informant status.
Moreover, Baphomet’s previous request to parse logs raises additional concerns. Our sites do not maintain logs, except for critical information such as user accounts and password hashes. IPs are logged only from our reverse proxy. We only log critical information necessary for site functionality, such as email addresses, usernames, and password hashes. IPs are only logged from our reverse proxy, as we do not have X-Forwarded-For enabled.
conclusively, based on the information available, he stated “I urge caution regarding BreachForums and its potential security risks. As the sole administrator responsible for Blackforums’ infrastructure, I believe I have to inform the community of my concerns. It is crucial to prioritize security and transparency in the interest of protecting our digital assets and online communities.”
