The Australian Federal Police (AFP) has carried out a series of raids between Brisbane and the Gold Coast in connection to the shutdown of Darkmarket, the world’s largest illegal e-commerce site on the dark web.
The AFP was alerted after German authorities arrested a 34-year-old Australian man, accused of running the site. Authorities allege the site was being used for selling contraband, counterfeit money, stolen credit card data, anonymous SIM cards and malware.
