But the BL2C investigation continued, and specialist police officers made arrests earlier this week in Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Maritime, and Réunion. "ShinyHunters," "Hollow," "Noct," and "Depressed" are accused of harming numerous victims of high-profile data leaks, including Boulanger, SFR, France Travail , and the French Football Federation.

the thing that's weird to me, is that they were all French. Maybe they knew each other personally or lived together? Does anyone have knowledge of intelbroker not posting after February. After the site's downtime and stuff, I wouldn't be surprised tbh

It's definitely not likely that Intelbroker was french, he was a uk citizen as far as I could tell based on the complaint file made

Yes. He is named as a British national. And they do not charge him with hacking with ShinyHunters. Just the stuff he did with CyberNiggers and using BreachForums to sell data.
