A New York resident has been arrested on charges of allegedly running the BreachForums web site which was used to provide information about data leaks to prospective buyers.

Conor Brian Fitzpatrick was arrested on Wednesday [15 March], according to a report published by Bloomberg. The forum, however, is still accessible.

Data from both Australian medical insurer Medibank BreachForums and telco Singtel Optus was published on the same forum last year.

Fitzpatrick, who used the alias Pompompurin, is due to appear before a court on 24 March.

Data from Medibank was released data in a staggered manner. Data that appeared to be related to customers' mental health issues was released on 14 November.

The parties responsible for these attacks have not been found so far.

The website Engadget said one of the FBI agents involved in the arrest had signed a sworn affidavit saying that Fitzpatrick had admitted to being the owner of the forum.

Contacted for comment, security firm Emsisoft's senior threat researcher Brett Callow said: "While the forum is still online, users may not have much confidence in the integrity of the operation.

"They have no way to know how deeply the FBI infiltrated it or whether the current admin is co-operating with law enforcement."

Reducing WAN latency is one of the biggest issues with hybrid cloud performance. Taking advantage of compression and data deduplication can reduce your network latency.

Research firm, Markets and Markets, predicted that the hybrid cloud market size is expected to grow from US$38.27 billion in 2017 to US$97.64 billion by 2023.

Colocation facilities provide many of the benefits of having your servers in the cloud while still maintaining physical control of your systems.

Cloud adjacency provided by colocation facilities can enable you to leverage their low latency high bandwidth connections to the cloud as well as providing a solid connection back to your on-premises corporate network.
