In what is an epic troll, the feds included a picture of Pompompurin in handcuffs. Pompompurin is a Hello Kitty character and the name Conor Brian Fitzpatrick, the alleged BrachForums admin, used to use there. https://techcrunch.com/... [image]

NEW: The feds have seized the original domain of BreachForums, the hacking forum that shut down three months ago after its administrator got arrested. The seizure punctuates the end of the original BreachForums, just days after a new one was launched. https://techcrunch.com/...
