Feds Charge NY Man as Breach Forums Boss “Pompompurin”
Summary: The FBI arrested Conor Brian Fitzpatrick in Peekskill, NY on March 15, 2023, and he told the arresting agent he was 'pompompurin,' owner and administrator of BreachForums, the cybercrime forum where hacked databases are routinely sold. The complaint charges him with one count of conspiracy to commit access device fraud, and the forum remained online while its users discussed whether the FBI now holds their registration details.
What's compelling: BreachForums was where contact information on more than 80,000 InfraGard members was auctioned after hackers impersonated a financial CEO to get into the FBI's own vetted sharing program, and where data from DC Health Link was offered for sale. The administrator's arrest does not close the market: the site stayed up, and its members' first reaction was to ask whether the FBI now has everything they registered with.
