At the end of February, I analyzed major black marketplaces searching for anything related to the Coronavirus outbreak. At the time of the first investigation, most of the offers were related to surgical masks, small vendors attempted to generate revenues exploiting the panic of the population. The sale of masks is exploded, the type of sellers is also deeply changed. New vendors appeared in the major black markets offering huge lot of masks composed of thousands of items, in some cases the vendors claim the shipment was from the European countries.”]
