Netherlands Police Arrest Darkweb Vendor


Data Storage Devices
The man was at least active from November 2018, but the suspicion is that he had been busy for some time. During a search in his home, so-called filling chips were found, which were also used as filling material in the postal packages. Furthermore, data carriers were seized during the search of his home. Further investigation should show whether the man was also the so-called ‘vendor’ who offered the resources for sale at market places on the Darkweb.Still In Custody
The Amsterdammer was brought before the examining magistrate on Thursday and remains in jail for at least fourteen days.
