Dark web markets are now 'being picked off one by one,' according to a top cybersecurity expert.
Two covert websites used to sell drugs, stolen data and malware have been shut down following arrests and raids conducted as part of a global police operation.
Police announced Friday that two of the highest-selling suppliers of drugs to Wall Street Market—which was the world’s second largest illegal online marketplace—were detained in the U.S. In Germany, three suspects had recently been arrested after a series of house raids. Finnish customs, partnered with French police, made a “significant” bitcoin seizure from the Silkkitie takedown. Catherine De Bolle, Europol’s executive director, said the results this week demonstrate “illegal activity on the dark web is not as anonymous as criminals may think.”
The move gives law enforcement two more “wins” when it comes to promoting anti-cybercrime efforts. The move follows the headline-grabbing shuttering of AlphaBay and Hansa Market in July 2017 and, of course, the infamous takedown of the Silk Road platform in 2013.
