Popular online hacker platform raidforums.com has been down for weeks, prompting rumours that the site was a legal target of a breach by government authorities. The site is especially popular with lower level or beginner-level cyber criminals and provides tools and techniques for hackers to use. Users attempting to access the site were met with the message: “MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue”. This is not the first time the site has gone offline; raidforums was previously suspended in October 2021 due to “government interference”, but fears from users suggest that this time personal data may have been affected.
