I haven't posted this on my site yet, but there have been a few developments likely related to the seizure of . As a preview, recall that Kantonspolizei Zürich were one of the cooperating entities in the takedown and that the seizure notice had two avatars behind bars: one was Baphomet, the other was a default avatar that has been used by a number of people, but is not the avatar of the forum owner ShinyHunters.

Law enforcement has yet to issue any press release or answer any questions about the takedown.

Developments:

was notified by that they had received a court order ordering CF to cancel BF's account. CF complied with the court order. (Source: ShinyHunters shared text copy of CF communication with DataBreaches)

CF did not tell ShinyHunters what court had ordered that, so Shiny asked them to provide a copy of the order if there was no gag order with it, or to at least say what court ordered it so it could be appealed. They have not gotten a response from CF as yet to that request.

On May 15, the same day as the takedown, Switzerland Services sent customers a notice stating, in part, that "all our network equipment and servers in Switzerland were confiscated yesterday by Swiss police due to a local prosecutor order and therefore all services in Switzerland are currently unavailable and all data can de considered as lost and compromised."

ShinyHunters had previously told DataBreaches that BF has used servers and services in Switzerland.

ShinyHunters has also claimed to be in Switzerland. DataBreaches does not know if that is true or not.

I'll have this up on databreaches.net soon with the full message from Switzerland Services.
