What exactly is the identity of ShinyHunters, whether BreachForums is an FBI honeypot or not, and why BreachForums was suddenly shut down and then suddenly restored remain confusing, all are question marks left for time to answer.

The third version of BreachForums has again suffered a huge blow, with both the clearnet and dark web sites inaccessible, the administrator ShinyHunters' Telegram account deleted, and the new BreachForums channel and Jacuzzi 2.0 chat groups similarly deleted.
