The web of illegality, web hidden behind TOR, Dark Web has it's own websites, one of the best known marketplace AlphaBay, where one can buy sell from gums to drugs, has got hacked and over 200,000 messeges compromised.
Earlier this week, the hacker known as Cipher0007, had found "high-risk" bug in AlphaBay witch allows him to copy over 200,000 private messeges between sellers & buyers. In a forum post the hacker said the two security flaws could be exploited to snatch private messages.
The hacker was able to read firstname, lastname, addresses, nicknames and tracking ID's. He also reviled number of screenshots as proof.
After that AplhaBay awarded that hacker for finding such a risky bug. The attacker was paid for disclosing the flaws rather than selling them on or releasing the stolen information to the public. In return, Cipher0007 revealed his methods and several hours later AlphaBay developers were able to close the loopholes.
