XSS Forum’s Whack-a-Mole Comeback: Law Enforcement’s Headache or Honeypot?
The XSS forum is back online after a brief law enforcement seizure, but is it a honeypot or just a test of endurance for cybercriminals? Speculation abounds, with moderators urging users to stick to the .onion domain. XSS’s future remains uncertain, much like my New Year’s resolution to hit the gym.
Hot Take:
Looks like the infamous XSS forum is the cybercrime equivalent of a cockroach – indestructible and always finding a way to scuttle back into the dark corners of the internet no matter how many times authorities try to stomp it out. What’s next? A reality TV show: “When Forums Attack!”
Key Points:
- XSS, a notorious cybercrime forum, was seized by law enforcement but has made a quick comeback.
- The forum’s .onion and mirror domains are back online; however, its main domain shows a seizure notice.
