Hacker forum LeakBase shut down again during a special operation by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs

Earlier we reported that the LeakBase forum had been taken down by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies on March 4. Despite the seizure of the main domain, the forum's administrators continued to keep it running.

Over the following week, LeakBase domains changed frequently, and on the evening of March 13 a statement appeared on the active domain announcing the forum's final shutdown as part of a special operation by the BSTM unit of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. We believe LeakBase is unlikely to return, since along with the forum's repeated closure, its Telegram channels also reported being taken down by the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.
