🔮 Sneak Peak Saturday for 2025-10-11
Friday provided a classic trope from the world of cybersecurity that plays out with dependable regularity: The triumphant law enforcement takedown, immediately followed by the defiant criminal taunt.
Early Friday morning, a story broke that had all the hallmarks of a major victory for the good guys. The FBI announced it had seized the domains for BreachForums, a data leak and extortion site.
A big win, right? A decisive blow against the cyber bad guys.
Well, about that… the story comes with a punchline, just hours later, delivered by the cyber bad guys themselves… and they claim operations are “unaffected.”
It’s that familiar tale: law enforcement scores a point, but the game goes on. This story isn’t just about one or more domain seizures; it’s about the frustrating, asymmetric cyclical nature of the fight against cyber criminals, conveniently packaged for a day when fewer people are paying close attention.
