Law enforcement agencies across the globe staged a crackdown on so-called darknet web sites last week. They targeted merchants and customers who were looking to obtain illegal drugs and goods. In the U.S., the FBI said it made contact with 150 individuals suspected of buying illicit items from darknet marketplaces. The darknet is a sort of parallel internet accessible to visitors via anonymizing software like Tor. In other countries such as Sweden, local police have identified over 3,000 suspected buyers of drugs.”]
