A database containing the details of almost half-a-million RaidForums users has leaked online, a year after the U.S. Department of Justice seized the notorious cybercrime forum. From a report: The leaked database was posted on Exposed, described by security researchers as an up-and-coming forum "wanting to fill the void" left by the recent BreachForums shutdown. An Exposed admin, known as "Impotent," posted the alleged RaidForums user data, which includes the details of 478,000 users, including their usernames, email addresses, hashed passwords and registration dates. "All of the users that were on raidforums may have been infected," the admin's post says. RaidForums had around 550,000 users at the time of its shutdown last year. The admin added that some users' details have been removed from the leak, though it's unclear how many or the reasoning behind this.
