Requesting Dream Market security status

I've been seeing posts about Dream Market being breached but apparently it's only a few select vendors that have had their accounts seized and still in used to catch buyers.

Assuming that a user would verify the vendor's PGP key and also checks recent reviews and maybe even drops the vendor a message for verification, is Dream Market still safe to use?

If not, then any alternatives maybe?

W2C definitely gave you the best advice possible. If you still have your doubts, you may want to go to r/dream_market with this post/request. You may be able to catch a Dream mod/admin there.

for market issues just look at the superlist.

then you would have verified that the vendor is legit. the market can still be compromised, log your messages, disable auto-encryption, exit scam, . . .

That's implying it was safe to use to begin with.

According to my sources , Dream has been under LE control for weeks while they log buyers info. Before the coming holidays many buyers , large and small , will be questioned and possibly arrested on felony drug charges. Make no mistake, LE is coming for YOU!!
