darknet markets
Underground online marketplaces
Darknet markets are online marketplaces operating on encrypted networks like Tor, accessible only through specialized software.
They function like e-commerce sites but trade primarily in illegal goods—drugs, stolen data, counterfeit documents, weapons.
Transactions typically use cryptocurrency to preserve anonymity.
The Silk Road was the most notorious darknet market before the FBI shut it down.
