Shut_down_of_50_dark_web_accounts
By MYBRANDBOOK
The European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol) has confirmed that 61 arrests have been made and 50 dark web accounts used for illegal activity are shut down by law enforcement agencies from the US, Canada and Europe, including the UK.
It has led police to seize nearly 300kg of drugs, 51 firearms and more than €6.2m, including almost €4m in cryptocurrency.
Europol affirms that a strong signal has been sent to those active in selling and buying goods on the dark web. While the dark web is accessible only through special software such as the Tor browser and provides a safe environment for personal privacy and freedom, it is also a “fertile environment” for criminals and individual illegal activities.
Europol conveys the message that investigating these illegal activities online has become a priority for law enforcement all over the world. This international coordinated approach demonstrates law enforcement’s determination to tackle crime on the dark web and to reduce the number of people who fall victim to criminals selling life endangering products or scamming them for their own gain.
Europol has warned that the risks are higher for anyone who uses the dark web to buy illegal goods anonymously, because anyone carrying out transactions on the dark web exposes their sensitive data to scammers who are only after money and personal details. Activity on the dark web exposes users’ devices to some of the most damaging malware around and exposes buyers to potential losses due to the non-delivery of goods as well as harm from lethal drugs, malfunctioning weapons and cyber crime services that work against the buyers.
