The website of one of the most famous hacker platforms XSS.IS, where mostly Russians sat, is no longer working. It has a stub with "greetings" from the SBU and French law enforcement officers.

Are these actions enough to completely shut down XSS.IS? We asked Ukrainian white hat hacker Mykyta Knysh and Ukrainian hacktivist Sean Townsend about this, and learned some interesting details.
