Law enforcement agencies across 14 countries coordinated a global operation to take down LeakBase, a major online forum linked to cybercrime activities. The synchronized action took place over two days and involved arrests, search warrants and digital evidence seizures in several countries. The investigation was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in collaboration with Europol and other international partners.

Officials say the forum enabled hackers to buy and sell stolen credentials, personal data and cyberattack tools. Authorities warn that such platforms can fuel wider cybercrime networks, including scams, identity theft and ransomware attacks. The takedown marks a significant step in disrupting global cybercrime infrastructure, though investigators note that similar networks may attempt to emerge in the future.
