Darkleaks: an Online Black Market For Selling Secrets

Posted by timothy on from the hey-bub-psssst dept.

An anonymous reader writes Whistleblowers and those individuals that are simply out to make a buck out of any confidential and valuable information, can now offer it for sale on Darkleaks, a decentralized, anonymous black market on the Internet. The Darkleaks project is built on top of the Bitcoin blockchain, and can be used by downloading this software package (source code is open).

    As we've all learned, everything on the internet is safe in 2015. I wonder who comes up with the idea and subsequently sponsors these projects? Some Agent Smith, some execufuck, someone with good intentions and a subtly flawed technical execution? Seems a good idea on the surface (for capturing squealers), just let the operation go for a year or two and then zing. Governments are good at those kinds of projects.

    Honeypot or not, the FBI will be all over this. The fact is, sites like this and Wikileaks are no longer useful for this sort of thing. Snowden took it to the next level.
