Blackhatworld is the only one I know of, any others?
- GameOfFrowns 4y agoAlways thought that Blackhatworld was just a forum about unethical SEO. There used to be raidforums as a big one before being seized by LE but it's not hard to imagine that another forum sprung up to fill the void that RF left behind. Krebsonsecurity blogs about transactions on some of these (often in Russian language) forums although I don't know if he mentions them by name.
- shiftpgdn 4y agoBreached.to is the replacement domain, FYI.
- jason-phillips 4y agoTelegram, discord. Don't expect HN-level discourse though, it's a mess.
- djohnston 4y agoWhat's the discovery process for these channels? The only way I've found useful discords/telegram channels is word of mouth from people I know IRL.
- zoover2020 4y agoThat is exactly how it goes. More often, it is also hidden on deep web forums. Typically, there are different tiers and the higher your reputation, the more content and channels you have access to.
- from 4y agoxss.is exploit.in if you don’t speak Russian you will probably have a hard time.
- prox 4y agoWhy is it so Russia dominated? This was also visible in the article. Any particular reason or just coincidence?
- from 4y agoI’m not Russian but it’s probably a combination of being a high IQ technically savvy country, having law enforcement that doesn’t care as long as the victims are foreign, and an opportunistic mindset many people got in the 90s.
