Alphabay
A darknet marketplace, originally launched in September 2014, that has been considered one of the most popular and comprehensive illicit marketplaces to exist. The original AlphaBay was taken down by law enforcement’s “Operation Bayonet” in July 2017, and was relaunched by one of its original admins in August 2021. Its most popular offerings include drugs, fraud-related listings like credit cards and fullz, and guides and tutorials for fraud, hacking, and social engineering.
