There's a lot more here than the irony of just the headline would suggest - I suspect Krebs assumed context for his readers when writing it.
The real kicker here was that the FBI had seized a website (domain)... then let the domain lapse which let someone else hijack it and get all of the data from a 3rd party (Stripe).
- dheera 6y agoUgh. After they sneezed it I now have no way to check if I was leaked ...
- thatguy0900 6y agoEven if it was a honeypot, could they criminally charge you for buying your own data?
- bombcar 6y agoI’m surprised (but kinda not surprised) that seizing a domain setup like this doesn’t involve the FBI shutting down payment processors and collecting the third party data and forcing it to be removed from the service.
- FDSGSG 6y agoI don't believe that this domain was ever seized by the FBI. It never displayed a seizure page, and the actual weleakinfo domain has the "serverDeleteProhibited" flag set.
