The BreachForums member database leaked online, exposing 323,988 accounts and some public IP addresses that could aid attribution. A 7Zip archive carried the forum's mybb_users table, which included display names, registration dates, IP addresses, and other internal information. The forum administrator said the records came from an August 2025 users-table exposure that had been briefly stored in an unsecured folder, making the leak relevant for OPSEC.
