![]() A hidden market place may have a dozen domains pointing to it and making up that market place. The Tor Project has posted a blog listing the plausible ways that Operation Onymous managed to locate these "hidden services" and called for the police to reveal their tactics during the trials of the seventeen people arrested.Įuropol defended its initial announcement in a statement: "We did not say we took down 414 hidden market places. What they've said was, 'Oh no, we've broken apart 400. "When they say they've busted 400-something, you expect 400-something to have actually been busted. "They overemphasised what they did," he said. ![]() Bitcoins worth approximately US$1 million and €180 000 in cash, drugs, gold and silver were also seized. Six Britons have also been arrested in the raids, including one 19-year old and a 20-year old, bringing the total number of arrests to 17.īut Andrew Newman, the executive director of the Tor Project, told the BBC that he believes that law enforcement agencies have exaggerated the importance and impact of the raids. Last week, the FBI and Europol raided the homes of various vendors across the world in a crackdown on the sale of drugs across the darknet called Operation Onymous. Alleged Silk Road 2.0 founder Blake Benthall was arrested in San Francisco at the weekend and has reportedly confessed to everything.ĭoes this mean the darknet drugs marketplace is dead? Probably not.Īccording to Europol, 410 hidden services were taken down.
