BreachForums, a hacking forum, has experienced a data breach with nearly 324,000 user accounts exposed. The leak includes usernames, registration dates, and some public IP addresses, raising concerns for users and law enforcement. The forum's administrator claims this data is not recent, originating from an earlier backup.

Google confirmed that hackers created a fraudulent account in its Law Enforcement Request System (LERS) but assured that no data was accessed. The group "Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters" claimed access to both LERS and the FBI's eCheck system, raising concerns over potential impersonation and unauthorized data access. Cybersecurity experts believe the group may continue their activities despite claims of going dark.
