DarkNetMarkets.org has finally been taken down for hosting phishing links.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to file a report.

I don't know if they made any difference, but...

WE DID IT REDDIT!

Read that as "/r/darknetmarkets has finally been taken down" and lost my shit.

No warning in google so its nothing to do with the reports, its seems to be just down... Might be some server / hosting issue or ddos, lets see if they are not back in few hours / days.

Word of advice for anyone who wants a site taken down for malicious content: Contact the host through their abuse contact email address. Make sure to use the proper keywords e.g. phishing etc. If it's cloudflare protected use their web form, they will forward the report together with the correct IP address to the host.

In general hosts can get held liable for damages when they are made aware of illegal content/activity and do not act upon it, the fact that the dnm themselves are illegal doesn't matter.

Also, be sure to take this guy off your Twitter followers as well. I know he mysteriously ended up following several DNM people out of the blue.
