After Exit Scam, Incognito Darknet Market Operators Now Threaten User Data Leak in Extortion Twist https://t.co/hDTDmORX0j
Last week, the Incognito Market, a darknet platform, has reportedly engaged in extorting its users following an exit scam where it absconded with deposited funds. This development marks a significant twist in the aftermath of the platform's shutdown, with administrators now threatening to leak sensitive user information unless demands are met. This form of post-exit scam extortion, highlighted as a first in the history of darknet market failures AFAIK, raises concerns within the cybersecurity community. The situation has garnered attention from various security analysts and news outlets, including Krebs on Security, emphasizing the risks associated with transactions on such platforms.
