The illicit marketplace AlphaBay appears to have resurfaced, four years after a high-profile takedown by international law enforcement agencies. The reconstituted version of the site is described as an homage to the original and a tribute to the now deceased alleged AlphaBay moderator Alexandre Cazes. The old AlphaBays infrastructure supported what is believed to be the largest known criminal market on the internet. When AlphaBay was shut down in 2017 it has more than 200,000 user and 40,000 vendors selling illicit goods.”]
