Complete disregard for human life by Law Enforcement, disregard for someone who was presumed innocent unless proven guilty, disregard for their duties as police. Haven’t been able to get onto the market since about February 9th-10th. Tried the main link, alternate links, and my private link. Even learned how to use I2P for the first time and that won’t work either.
And once in a while, users may experience delays during periods of high usage. Solving captcha is a daunting task to many, especially newbies on the dark space. AlphaBay Featured ListingFour years after the market went down, the Market’s former customers and vendors got a reason to smile. One of AlphaBay’s administrators, DeSnake, released a PGP-signed statement on the Dread darknet forum. DeSnake , one of original AlphaBay’s administrators could not help, but bring back to life the former dark web giant. The message contained information about the intended relaunching of AlphaBay marketplace.
Darknet Market
Maintaining a unique online and offline presence is encouraged. Choose a unique password and avoid reusing market credentials. Anybody who knew the original AlphaBay Market will agree that it was arguably one of a kind. So it’s not surprising that many darknet fans have been wishing for the particular marketplace to get revamped again.
- AlphaBay was an extremely popular darknet market that launched in 2014 and operated until June 2017, when it was seized by law enforcement as part of Operation Bayonet.
- Interestingly, AlphaBay’s former moderator “Disc0” also chimed in, but using a lowercase “d” this time.
- Administration reviews the logs on a daily basis to ensure no Staff is abusing their powers for their own benefit or otherwise.
- Interestingly, the last known Monero-I2P-centric market was Liberitas, which went offline in June 2019 after a very short stint on the I2P network.
- The network will make it impossible to LE takedowns and it will be the long awaited progress in the darknet market scene.
- We have always been transparent, professional and fair to every party involved that is why we were the preferred place of business by hundreds of thousands of buyers and vendors.
One concern is that the admin may be doing this project from a compromised position, following instructions from law enforcement to trap vendors of illegal products. InfoArmor’s purpose is to notify healthcare organizations regarding the significant interest that cybercriminals have in infiltrating and exploiting the Healthcare Industry at large. Whether the result is ransomware, stolen PII/PHI, targeted spear phishing attacks or other exploitation, the consequences can have a dramatic impact. As shown by this intelligence briefing, the risks to your organization extend well beyond your perimeter to healthcare software vendors and any third party technology provider. InfoArmor has notified the NH-ISAC as well as other appropriate parties in order for further risk mitigation and incident response measures to be enacted.

Several construction projects have been delayed due to a lack of laborers. This article examines ways in which the alphabay market link building sector contributes to the economy. Alphabay Market was originally operating from 2014 to 2017 with alpha02 and DeSnake as admins and was the biggest darknet market in history. It was suspected as an exit scam; however, a few days after it had gone offline, it was revealed that AlphaBay had been seized and alpha02, aka Alexander Cazes, was caught.
Our hosting providers are proven bulletproof which means they will not respond to Law Enforcement requests – local or international. Over time I tried to deal with the situation as I had seen many arrests of people in the game for over 20 years some with fatal fates but never one where a person was killed in custody by Law Enforcement. Shocking as the AlphaBay situation was, what really struck me and gave me the ‘Fuck it’ moment was the infamous college/university presentation of US agents showing a never seen before in public video of the arrest. Seeing the agent laughing and mocking the arrest in a high-spirited manner making it as if he was doing stand-up and the students infront of him were his audience.

DeSnake points out that this part of AlphaBay’s administration successfully escaped prosecution and has unsurpassed skills when it comes to running a darknet market. Of course, all the other staff has been changed, but the owner can personally vouch for them. All these people combined their efforts to build this place from scratch and turn it into a bulletproof fortress. As is the norm with darknet markets, one has to encounter a captcha before reaching the login page.
This makes it valuable for both conventional crime and cybercrime actors. AlphaBay’s marketplace and forum are also available on the darknet I2P. Dark web marketplaces are a platform for trading illicit products on a small and large scale. The products that are most commonly listed for sale include drugs, fake documents, fraud-related items, and hacking services and tools. The prices for these products range from a few dollars to hundreds and thousands of dollars, depending on how valuable the stolen or illegal product is and on how experienced and known the vendor and platform are. Because of the range of goods and services found for sale and the conversations that occur around these sales, dark web marketplaces can be precious sources of data on criminal activity.
We have a heavy focus on I2P because we believe it is the future and every DNM user should learn how to use it. To elaborate further, Tor has been neglecting much needed upgrades to how hidden services work for a very long time and it is not only me saying that. We know who discovered/weaponized , who uses it and how deanonimization techniques are used what we do not know is why the Tor project has done little to nothing about it and continues to brush it off. It is clear by example no amount of funding given to the Tor project foundation will change that and the time to stop ‘hoping’ for them to make changes is over. Another reason of vital importance of why AlphaBay is returning is how everything ended with alpha02.
