Police arrest 150 people globally in dark web sting

Description

Europol announced on October 26 that police around the world had arrested 150 suspects -- including several high-profile targets -- involved in buying or selling illegal goods online in one of the largest-ever stings targeting the dark web. Operation Dark HunTOR also recovered millions of euros in cash and bitcoin, as well as drugs and guns. On Tuesday the FBI released images of the bust, which stems from a German-led police sting earlier this year taking down the "world's largest" darknet marketplace.

One Of The Worlds Biggest, Nastiest Dark Web Holes Just Got Shut Down

European authorities say one of the internet’s largest forums for criminal activity has been seized and the man believed to be its operator has been arrested. Gizmodo reports DarkMarket boasted nearly half a million users and over 200,000 re-sellers. On it, they could digitally swap drugs, malware, stolen credit card data, and SIM cards, among other things. Law enforcement co-opted DarkMarket's infrastructure, confiscating over 20 servers in Ukraine and Moldova, where the operation was apparently located. However, officials have yet to reveal just who was arrested in connection with the darknet. They refer to the man only as a 34-year-old 'Australian national' who was apparently taken into custody by police somewhere near the German-Danish border.
