Europol announced that it has successfully shut down DarkMarket, the largest online marketplace for illicit goods with 2,400 vendors. The operation was a collaboration between Europol, the Australian Federal Police and the German Federal Criminal Police. The investigation led to the arrest of an Australian national, who is believed to be the operator of the marketplace. The marketplace was primarily used to sell drugs, stolen data, and malware. Europol has stated that this operation is a significant blow to the criminal underground economy, and is a significant step in the fight against criminal activities online. The operation is part of Europol’s ongoing efforts to tackle illegal activities on the darkweb, and serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for international cooperation in the fight against cybercrime.
