Last week, a coalition of international law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and Europol, carried out a widespread digital sting, arresting the alleged operator of the deep web black market Silk Road 2.0 and seizing over 400 URLs of other darknet bazaars. At least 27 sites have been confirmed as shuttered.

Silk Road 2.0 was the most high-profile seizure, but the scope of this operation suggests that law enforcement are making the most aggressive effort yet to clamp down on illegal sales of all sorts online. In a complaint filed in the New York Southern District of New York on Friday, the FBI listed all of the confirmed seized sites, separating them into different categories, some focused on drugs, others on counterfeits and stolen credit cards.


One of the biggest questions surrounding how this raid went down is how exactly law enforcement cracked Tor. I asked the spokesperson for Tor if the organization knew how any breaches occured. "We have no information. Any thoughts are merely speculation," they told me.
