Operation Deep Sentinel has busted Archetyp, Europe’s longest-running dark web drug market, in a thrilling takedown. Authorities nabbed the alleged admin and six high-flying vendors, sending a stern message: no safe haven for cybercriminals. With 300 officers, 47 smartphones, and €9 million seized, the operation was no small fry!
Hot Take:
