Astounding Accuses Breachforums Leader of Being a Mole
Recently, the SecretForum Telegram channel revealed details about alleged activities involving Baphomet and BreachForum.
According to a former administrator of Blackforums, there are concerns about Baphomet’s role as an informant. The administrator mentioned that Baphomet had repeatedly attempted to gain access to their infrastructure, posing as someone interested in improving security.
However, the administrator maintained sole control over the servers and denied Baphomet access. The SecretForum admin also pointed out that Baphomet’s subsequent ban from Jacuzzi 2.0 after being denied access indicates an effort to silence concerns about its intentions.
In regards to BreachForums, there are security concerns due to ShinyHunters’ ownership and the use of old backups in its construction. Baphomet, the site’s developer, is particularly troubling because of his alleged status as an informant.
Furthermore, Baphomet’s past request to parse logs has raised additional concerns. It’s important to note that our sites do not typically maintain logs, except for crucial information like user accounts and password hashes.
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.”
