8base ransomware group has apparently been seized or done an exit scam.

Two of its Tor portals say "This hidden site and the criminal content have been seized by the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office on behalf of the Office of the Public Prosecutor General in Bamberg"

They had been hitting some high profile targets in recent times.

The text comes from the HTML source btw.

8base weren't particular great at OPSEC, e.g. their Tor server was blatantly publicly visible on the plain internet for a while - it also had SSH running with the same host signature that LockBit 3.0 use.

hey @bsi - did u seize 8base ransomware portal?

BSI

@GossiTheDog Hi, no, the Bavarian State Criminal Police Office seized the portal on behalf of the Office of the Public Prosecutor in Bamberg, Germany. Best wishes from the BSI

Just Gossi casually conversing with a federal agency for the largest economy in Europe about whether or not they took down some cyber baddies. Typical Monday.
