kerberos Offline Market 194
Kerberos Market was a darknet marketplace accessible via the Tor network, facilitating the anonymous trade of illicit goods and services. Operating primarily between mid-2021 and early 2022, it offered typical dark web wares such as narcotics, stolen data, counterfeit items, and potentially hacking tools, with transactions conducted mainly using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Like similar platforms, it utilized escrow systems to mediate trades between vendors and buyers, aiming to provide some security against scams within the inherently risky environment. However, Kerberos Market's operation was cut short in February 2022 when its infrastructure was seized by German law enforcement (BKA) in collaboration with international agencies. Its takedown represented another significant disruption to the darknet economy, highlighting the persistent efforts by authorities to dismantle these hidden online criminal enterprises.
