Dark Web investigation: AlphaBay and Hansa dark web markets shut down- BBC News

Two of the largest dark web marketplaces have been shut down following a "landmark" international law enforcement investigation. The AlphaBay and Hansa sites had been associated with the trade in illicit items such as drugs, weapons, malware and stolen data. Police in the US and Europe collaborated on the operation. According to Europol, there were more than 250,000 listings for illegal drugs and toxic chemicals on AlphaBay. The agency said it believes that the bust will lead to hundreds of new investigations in Europe. It was a "landmark" operation, according to US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) director Andrew McCabe. AlphaBay has been offline since early July, fuelling suspicions among users that a law enforcement crackdown had taken place. "We know of several Americans who were killed by drugs on AlphaBay," said US Attorney General Jeff Sessions. "One victim was just 18 years old when in February she overdosed on a powerful synthetic opioid which she had bought on AlphaBay."
