Although I had already suspected it to be the case, its now been confirmed that Pom has been arrested:
https://news.bloomberglaw.com/privacy-an…uter-crime

I think it’s safe to assume he won’t be coming back, so I’ll be taking ownership of the forum. I have most, if not all the access necessary to protect BF infrastructure and users.

I pretty much already assumed the worst at nearly 24 hours of inactivity. It’s not often Pom is gone an extended period of time, and he’s always let me know ahead of time if that would be the case. He’s also never been inactive this long on both Telegram, Element and the forum at the same time. At that point I decided to remove his access to all important infrastructure and restricted his forum account to still login but not to carry out any administrator actions. I also since that point have been constantly monitoring everything and going through every log to see any access or modifications to Breached infra. So far nothing like that has been seen.

I can’t respond to everyone at this point, as I am working through the next steps of the emergency plan for the forum. Please be patient, and try not to lose your minds.

My only response to LE, or any media outlet is that I have no concerns for myself at the moment. OPSEC has been my focus from day one, and thankfully I don’t think any mountain lions will be attacking me in my little fishing boat.
