Hackforums.net - FBI raided?

Rumors have started spouting that "HF" - Hackforums.net was raided by a 3 letter organzation.

HF is an online community for discussion of computer security & had a very large security related marketplace.

Thoughts?

    That was one of my favorite forums. And yes, i was speaking to omniscent on skype regarding this.

  • I doubt it although the admin haven't tweeted anything about the site being down

    Took you a while vi, it's been down for hours.

    Plus the rumours are from people who hate HF, so yea lets listen to pastebins.

    I doubt they would want to raid it, they'd "benefit" much more by just monitoring all the traffic, which they probably already do.

    In general, in HF world, haters gonna DDoS, not spread rumours, so, maybe that is going on.

  • Never visited hackforums does not make any difference to me.But heard a lot about it.

  • meatonmeaton Member

    Usually when a website has been seized by the feds isn't the following image usually posted? Seems more like a DDoS or something else going on here...

    because its not down maybe? loads fine here. and am sure a raid would have been easy anyway just look at whois.

  • It is back up now...

    No, I meant that the first thing would be a DDoS then brag about it, in case of it being taken by the government there would have been no bragging involved.
    And law enforcement is not really interested by actual computer crime unless it targets their computers, the real criminals in their view are those that try to remain anonymous and spread "dangerous ideas". How many cases of people investigated for DDoS do you know and how many for privacy related "offenses"? There you go.

  • I tried to open HF. "Your IP has been blocked bla bla bla, contact witza.com".

    Witza.com, in turn, is blocked by our Roskomnadzor Internet censorship organization.

    "They have all gone crazy".

    Whenever vi opens his stupid mouth it makes the IQ of the forum drop several points.

    Anyway, @Cakey, you might want to fix your signature or the mods will put you into member_no_signature. :)

    Not raided for running HF but for buying a RAT, but maybe it has a relation.

    The BlackShades busts were months ago now and they were glorious. I don't think many convictions came of it (at least yet, it was only May) but they certainly put the wind up a few skids.

    Don't bite the hand that feeds you.

    I mean let's face it, if it was DDoS it was most likely a HF member who that Leet or Uber removed. FBI or CIA would make a big song a dance with seized notices if it was then.

    I only ever saw credible proof of 2.
