Breach notification website LeakedSource allegedly raided

Forum post to a known marketplace says servers were subpoenaed

LeakedSource, a breach notification service that exposed some of 2016’s largest data breaches, might be facing a permanent shutdown.

According to a forum post on a well-known marketplace, the owner of LeakedSource was raided earlier this week, although the exact details of any potential law enforcement action remains a mystery.

At the start of the new year, LeakedSource indexed more than 3 billion records. Their collection is the result of information sharing between a number of sources, including those who hacked the data themselves. Access to the full archive requires a membership fee.
