....aaaand it's gone

I wonder if the time was intentional to allow more people to be caught.

Wow it was up last night.

Are Tor hidden services compromised?

Yeah, and anyone who fled there is screwed, as it was already under the control of law enforcement. Whoops!

Apparently law enforcement seized Hansa a month earlier and were using it as a honeypot: https://krebsonsecurity.com/2017/07/after-alphabays-demise-c...

Brilliant setup. Seize both sites but only keep one down so you can document suspects migrating their criminal operations.
