Dark Market
Dark Market was an online platform on the dark web where users could buy and sell illegal goods and services, such as drugs, stolen data, and hacking tools. Operating anonymously, it used encryption and cryptocurrency to protect users’ identities. Similar to a secret marketplace, it was inaccessible through regular search engines and required specialized software to access. Dark Market was shut down by authorities in 2019, disrupting illegal online trade and highlighting the importance of cybersecurity and law enforcement efforts to combat cybercrime.
