You’re probably familiar with the news on the take down of two of the largest online darknet marketplaces – AlphaBay and Hansa. It’s being called as the largest international operation against the dark web’s marketplaces conducted by the FBI, DEA and Dutch National Police.

However, it was ironic how the federal authorities took down AlphaBay but took Hansa under their charge and kept it running for around a month just to keep an eye out on the happenings of its daily visitors. Also, the visitors of AlphaBay Market had flooded the Hansa Market since they were forced by the seizer.

In addition, many of AlphaBay’s users found refuge in other dark markets as well such as Dream Market, which is said to be the second-largest darknet marketplace. But this safe haven is seemingly on the red alert as well as some Reddit users on various “r/Dream_Market” threads are concerned about the marketplace.

A Reddit user claims that Dream Market might already be under the federal authorities control. This is what the user’s post said.

“I got contacted by an ex-Hansa staff member telling me that the operation is apparently bigger than we currently assume, that ‘there will be a bloodbath, a purge’ and that ‘any vendor on HANSA should immediately seize his operation, lawyer up and hide his trails’.”

Another Reddit user claimed to have found a non-encrypted IP address in Dream Market’s source code, saying that the police have possibly taken control of the black market and are now observing all the activities of its visitors.

Now you might be wondering what are other alternatives that you could visit that are not on the radar right now. Well, fret no more.

Here are 3 of the closest options you can get of the above-mentioned darknet marketplaces:

3 Best Alternatives Of Dream Market:

Silk Road 3.1:

As we all know, Silk Road has been taken down several times before but that has never stopped it from rising back up. This proves that as long as the Darknet Markets remain, so will Silk Road. It is still growing in popularity which is a good sign since it means its laying low.
