RaidForums Gets Raided, Alleged Admin Arrested

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said today it seized the website and user database for RaidForums, an extremely popular English-language cybercrime forum that sold access to more than 10 billion consumer records stolen in some of the world’s largest data breaches since 2015. The DOJ also charged the alleged administrator of RaidForums – 21-year-old Diogo Santos Coelho, of Portugal – with six criminal counts, including conspiracy, access device fraud and aggravated identity theft.
