AlphV wasn’t the only group experiencing some disruption this week
In August, “The Five Families” announced the collaboration of ThreatSec, SiegedSec, Stormous, BlackForums (now BlackSec), and GhostSec:
A group created to establish better unity and connections for everyone in the underground world of the internet, to expand and grow our work and operations. We run shit cause we can!
Today, someone else apparently ran shit because they could, and it resulted in SiegedSec being unceremoniously booted from The Five Families.
A post, shown below, appeared on SiegedSec’s blog this afternoon.
In short order, The Five Families became four, as they explained on their Telegram channel:
SiegedSec rushed to claim that the blog post was fake:
As far as DataBreaches knows, SiegedSec’s statement (above) is partly true. The blog was defaced and the post was not written by Vio. It was written mostly by Kmeta, who made DataBreaches aware of the situation. When asked why he did it, Kmeta said he found all the jokes about zoophilia disgusting. He also told DataBreaches that SiegedSec knows exactly who was responsible and that he warned SiegedSec that if SiegedSec tried to claim the post was a hoax, Kmeta would call his mother and send her a picture of her son.
SiegedSec subsequently announced on BreachForums that he is leaving SiegedSec. When asked why, he simply said the reason was”primarily stress.”
In less than two hours, Five Families was degraded and the leader of SiegedSec was resigning from SiegedSec, intending to pass the “SiegedSec” username to another member of the group.
That probably will not happen soon, if at all. At last check, Kmeta had now seized the blog, explaining that he had done so out of disgust with the sexually themed and inappropriate jokes on the blog:
For background on SiegedSec’s activities prior to now, see SOCRadar’s profile on them.
Updated December 24: On December 21, someone calling himself @D4RKR4BB1T47 on BreachForums (BF) posted a thread in which he initially posted a false seizure notice that names two BF moderators as being responsible for the seizure of SiegedSec. At the bottom of post that seemed to be about BlackForums and not SiegedSec, he then edited his post to claim, “Me & Ransomed Pulled this off, any other claims are fake or troll posts.”
But he didn’t pull it off, and when I responded to the thread to clear the moderators’ names and to point out @D4RKR4BB1T47 wasn’t responsible for the initial seizure, he responded by falsely suggesting that I had no chat logs to prove my claims and I that was a “fake ass reporter.”
Of course, DataBreaches does have chat logs as they were being provided in real-time as the seizure was taking place and the original seizure notice was being posted. DataBreaches tends to save chat logs so that this site can prove the accuracy of its reporting if ever challenged. So DataBreaches knew that the keys to the domain were going to be shared with @D4RKR4BB1T47 but that he had not been involved in the seizure.
The following is a redacted version of parts of the chat logs of December 20 — the day before @D4RKR4BB1T47 posted anything (typographical errors as in the original):

But @D4RKR4BB1T47 didn’t wait a few days, and when he posted, he dragged other people into it and then claimed my reporting was false and that I had no proof?
“Me & Ransomed Pulled this off, any other claims are fake or troll posts.”
Hardly. DataBreaches stands by its reporting.
