In the up coming security box and tweeted through Cyberscoop last week, we’re learning about a dark web marketplace that has pretty much dominated the marketplace for a number of years now.
The notations of this are quite extensive, and I got commentary after I tweeted Cyberscoop’s article.
Here are some stats taken directly from the show notes I’m putting together.
There are other stats. In its first year, according to the article, this compnany made $9.4 million. In 2020, the figure leapt to $1.4 billion a 624% jump within the last three years alone. 75% of the dark net marketplace revenue came from them alone. A Russian news site tallied 2.5 million registered users on the site.
Chew on that, and read How Hydra, a Russian dark net market, made more than $1 billion in 2020 for all of the details as it links to lots of stuff here.
