"AnonFiles Shuts Down After Massive User Abuse"

A popular anonymous file sharing service used by security researchers and threat actors has recently closed down, citing "extreme volumes" of users abusing it. AnonFiles was a going concern for two years, enabling anyone to share files without fear of being tracked online. It became a popular way for malicious hackers to share stolen data such as logins and personally identifiable information (PII). The company stated, "After trying endlessly for two years to run a file sharing site with user anonymity, we have been tired of handling the extreme volumes of people abusing it and the headaches it has created for us. The admins noted that they banned file names and usage patterns connected to "abusive material" to the point where they didn't care even about accidentally deleting thousands of false positives in the process. The site admins are now trying to find a buyer for the domain.
