It often hosts marketplaces for selling illegal goods like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/alphabay-hansa-shutdown-closed-dark-web-market-silk-road\/\">drugs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/the-dark-web-knows-too-much-about-me\/\">stolen data<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/news\/most-weapons-on-the-dark-web-come-from-us-study-finds\/\">weapons<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-subscribe-form desktop -inline \" section=\"subscribeNewsletter\" data-track=\"newsletter\" readability=\"6\">\n<div class=\"newsletterTitle \">\n<p><h2>CNET Daily News <\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"newsletter\" readability=\"7\">\n<p class=\"description\">Stay in the know.

Charges included those against a group called &#8220;Pill Cosby&#8221; that allegedly distributed more than 1 million fentanyl-laced pills in Ohio and against a man who allegedly bought data that belonged to a murdered couple in Georgia. Prosecutors in Virginia also charged someone who allegedly sought to bomb a competing drug dealer, according to the Justice Department.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These darknet marketplaces have grown in popularity at an alarming rate and allow drug traffickers to openly advertise and take orders from anywhere in the world,&#8221; Rosen said. &#8220;The dark net invites criminals into our homes and provides unlimited access to illegal commerce.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Operation DisrupTor used information from another major darknet market raided in April 2019, FBI Director Christopher Wray said. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/three-germans-who-allegedly-operated-dark-web-marketplace-over-1-million-users-face-us?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=govdelivery\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-component=\"externalLink\">International agencies took down the Wall Street Market<\/a>, one of the largest dark web marketplaces online.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Investigators said they&#8217;ve tracked down more than 18,000 listed sales to alleged customers in at least 35 states and in several countries around the world. Wray noted that there&#8217;s been a spike in opioid-related overdose deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic and that the FBI will continue investigating dark web drug markets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s announcement sends a strong message to criminals selling or buying illicit goods on the dark web: the hidden internet is no longer hidden, and your anonymous activity is not anonymous,&#8221; Edvardas Sileris, the head of Europol&#8217;s European Cybercrime Centre, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
