Europol, FBI and other law enforcement agencies made 61 arrests of individuals suspected of selling illegal goods on the dark web last week. Researchers at Coveware, an incident response firm, say the raids also led to the closing of the “Dream Market” dark web site. The site was one of the last remaining successors to the Silk Road marketplace, which specialized in illegal narcotics and was closed by U.S. law enforcement in 2013. Researchers say the closure of the Dream Market has disrupted ransomware attacks that leveraged Dream Market as a platform, forcing attackers to use alternatives.”]
