Deep Dot Web Surfacing The News From The DeepWeb
New scare tactic – Reposted from the dutch prosecution site – The Dutch National Prosecution Service and police launched a so called Hidden Service on the darknet today. The set up took place within the framework of ‘Operation Hyperion’. This first global Darknet marketplace enforcement operation ever, was conducted 22 to 28 October.
Hidden Service
Via the Hidden Service, an English darknet website, the National Prosecution Service and police show the darknet community that they act actively on the darknet in the first place. Secondly, the team communicates about the detection and prosecution of many large vendors on the underground marketplaces. Thirdly, the Hidden Service points out that buyers of illegal goods aren’t as anonymous on the darknet as the might think.
The darknet website can be visited via the regular internet via this link: (http://politiepcvh42eav.onion).
It is important to notice that there are some suspects using nicknames on the darknet, corresponding to the names of (large) industries. Those companies have nothing to do with the suspicion.
Criminal justice actions
Apart from the launch of the Hidden Service, some criminal justice actions took place in the Netherlands last week.
Pre-trial chamber
October 10th a man was arrested in Zutphen in a criminal investigation of the Dutch National Public Prosecution Office. Tuesday October 25th the pre-trial chamber decided to extend his detention with 90 days. The man is accused of vending, by using online underground marketplaces on the Darknet.
Prosecution
Another Dutch result of note during the action week was that the Prosecution Office in Rotterdam announced the prosecution of two 20 and 26 years old brothers in the region. They are accused of joining money laundering, by the use of bitcoins and large amounts of money in relation to underground dealing in forbidden goods on diverse darknets.
Operation Hyperion
Operation Hyperion is the first operation ever coordinated on a global scale. The operation aims to take action against the buyers and sellers of illicit drugs, weapons, fake and stolen identities and other illegal activities using Darknet global marketplaces. Amongst others activities such as computer hacking, murder for hire and money laundering.
Law enforcement agencies participating in the operation included: The Dutch national police, The Prosecution Office in the Netherlands and Europol.
International partners include the Australia, Canada, Finland, France, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States and the Netherlands.

All this “proves” is that artificial selection is real and active in our World today and that Darwin was right. If the police (the Dutch, in particular) are so effective, why are the sites listed to everyone’s right still active? Instead, the police are simply pruning the Darknet tree, gathering up the low-hanging fruit. In the end, the strong will survive, just as they do in Nature.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. There’s demand for what Dark markets offer. So there’s always a way. They’re wasting their time because even them (police) participate in the DMs. They’re real bigots who are going nowhere.
Anonymity and safety differ in degree and kind. Dealing drugs on the Darknet is safer for both the buyer and seller than dealing on the street. If the police are not able, after a 100 years of trying, to stop the latter, how could anyone possibly believe that they will stop the former? The selling and buying of drugs is not a struggle between right and wrong but one of the rich against the poor. If you are a drug dealer, be a “Robin Hood”; spread your wealth to those who know you and who love you! Use best practices from business (JIT) and modern science (protocols & procedures), and remember, Tails & encryption are your best friends, and silence your greatest ally!
so true, its a blessing for the poor man.
and the rich man doesnt want us having a few bob for once
Personally, I think police try to shut down darknet markets just to prove that they’re taking action. They can’t possibly shut down all of them (just as they can’t arrest every single drug dealer on the street).
the underground, nothing security, its more busted XD
i’ve bought of PartyDutchNL before, and I highly recommend them! Good prices, no risk of getting scammed and much less dangerous than buying off the street! An A1 vendor if you ask me, and clearly under the police radar or they wouldn’t have mentioned them!
