Razorcrypt busted
[WARNING] RazorCrypt Germany
Truth Behind Razor + Kenny Raids INCLUDING PRIVATE CHATS and LEAK INFORMATION

I know because I was one of their customers. Used a prepaid mastercard with no information linking to me which in turn caused me not to get on the shitlist.
I sometimes come around and poke a few threads before leaving for a few months again.

I see but the problem is you can't refer to the website of the article itself as a reliable source. You may try but I don't think it will last a day without being reverted by another editor.

He marketed the Remote Administration Tool (NanoCore RAT) and another software licensing program called Net Seal exclusively on Hack Forums.[5] Earlier, in December 2016, the FBI had arrested Taylor Huddleston, the programmer who created NanoCore and announced it first on Hack Forums.[6]

On 21 October 2016, popular websites, including Twitter, Amazon, Netflix, were taken down by a distributed denial-of-service attack. Researchers claimed that the attack was stemmed from contributors on Hack Forums.[7]

On 22 September 2016, majority of websites were forced offline after being hit with “Mirai,” a malware that targeted unsecured Internet of Things (IoT) devices.[8] The source code for Mirai was published on Hack Forums as open-source.[9] According to the documents unsealed by the federal court on Tuesday,[10] Paras Jha (21-year-old from New Jersey), Josiah White (20-year-old Washington) and Dalton Norman (21-year-old from Louisiana) were indicted by an Alaska court last week on multiple charges for their role in massive cyber attacks conducted using Mirai botnet.[11] In response, on 26 October 2016, Omniscient, the administrator of Hack Forums, removed the DDoS-for-Hire section from the forum permanently.[12][13][14]

On 14 January 2016, the developer of MegalodonHTTP DDoS Botnet was arrested. MegalodonHTTP included a number of features as "Binary downloading and executing", "Distributed Denial of service (DDoS) attack methods", "Remote Shell", "Antivirus Disabling", "Crypto miner for Bitcoin, Litecoin, Omnicoin and Dogecoin". The malware was sold on Hack Forums.[15]

On 15 May 2014, the FBI targeted customers of a popular Remote Administration Tool (RAT) called 'Blackshades'.[16] Blackshades RAT was a malware created and sold on Hack Forums.[3]

On 12 August 2013, hackers used SSH brute-force to mass target Linux systems with weak passwords. The tools used by hackers were then later posted on hacking community, called, "Hack Forums".[17]

According to a press release[18] from the U.S. Department of Justice, Zachary Shames developed a keylogger in 2013 that allowed users to steal sensitive information, including passwords and banking Credentials, from a victim's computer. Shames developed the keylogger known as Limitless Logger Pro, which was sold for $35 on Hack Forums.[19][20]

Why did you copy-paste from the article? Lol.

Correct if I am wrong but there's no mention of Hackforums being connected to RazorCrypt in both articles, right? So it doesn't pass the Wikipedia's Notability requirement. This doesn't mean I am 100% sure. You may try adding content to the article as you see fit. I won't revert it but I can't guarantee others wont.

I'm not adding anything, I'm just curious why it's not even mentioned anywhere, lol.

That I can't do anything about. I can't even mention Omniscient as being the owner of the website because I don't have any reliable source to back up my fact.

Isn't he already on there?

Yes, you can mention the owner's real name if it's necessary without referring to any article as source. But you can't add Omniscient as the owner name, lol. Let's say someone wrote an article on Hackforums and they named Omniscient's real name as something else, and the article was from a reliable source. Then even if I knew it was incorrect and if someone replaced the current owner's name, I wouldn't be able to revert it. That's Wikipedia for you.
I'm definitely down to do some edits, I wrote up a page for it a long time ago but it was on my old HDD.

I'll appreciate it if you do, thank you. (:
