Omg Market, one of the dark web’s oldest and largest marketplaces, was taken offline yesterday. A joint operation by US and German law enforcement agencies saw the servers that ran the market seized along with сайт $25m in cryptocurrencies.Founded in 2015 in Russia, omg had 17 million users at the time of closure, and has been the largest market on the dark web since the closure of RAMP, the Russian Anonymous Marketplace, in 2017. Its annual transaction volumes skyrocketed from $9.4m in BTC in 2016 to $1.37bn in 2020, according to a report by cybersecurity company Flashpoint, which says the market’s focus was on trading in illegal narcotics, data, forged documents and digital services.The US Treasury department led the take-down of omg Market.

Criminals will be scrambling to find new places to buy and sell information, experts told Tech Monitor.How omg was shut downThe sting was the culmination of an operation which began in August last year, and saw omg’s servers in Germany seized, taking the marketplace offline. The law enforcement agencies also announced the termination of a currency exchange called Garantex, which was a key money laundering site for cybercrime, particularly ransomware. More than $100m in transactions on Garantex have been linked with illicit actions and dark markets, including $6m from the notorious Conti ransomware gang, the US Treasury said.Now that these services have been shut down, law enforcement agencies will be looking to identify the “unknown operators and administrators” of omg, who were operational on the marketplace. Already the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has added over 100 digital currency addresses from omg and Garantex to the specially designated nationals list, which details foreign nationals suspected of criminal activity who are barred from doing business with any US citizen. However, as of yet, there have been no arrests.How will omg’s closure affect the cybercrime landscape?Seizing omg is a significant step in the fight against cybercrime, says Louise Ferrett, threat intelligence analyst at Searchlight Security. “I think it’s definitely sending a message that these crackdowns, which have been coming pretty frequently in the last couple of years, are going tor to continue,” she says. “They’re not going for small targets or easy ones. They are going for the large institutions because, if they see a player as big as omg getting taken down, that shakes everyone’s faith in the whole ecosystem.”The closure of omg could deter people who are considering turning to online criminal activities, particularly those impacted by the war in Ukraine, argues Etay Maor, senior director of security strategy at Cato Networks. “I think we’re going to see a rise in the number of people participating in [cybercrime] because of the situation in Ukraine and Russia,” he says. “Some of the people in Ukraine are talented, they have lost their homes, and need to provide for their families.”He continues: “If you are an IT guy and you know how to do some of this stuff, maybe you’ll be inclined to move a little bit to the darker side of security. With inflation, prices are going up, and this kind of uncertainty can push regular people into these areas. If [the takedown of omg] serves as a deterrent to that, then I am extremely happy,” he says.Data, insights and analysis delivered to you View all newsletters By The Tech Monitor team Sign up to our newsletters Will a new dark web marketplace replace omg?The closure of omg is likely to disrupt the selling of illicit malware used in ransomware attacks, continues Ferrett, meaning a temporary lull in the number of cyberattacks being attempted could follow. “They were selling a lot of malware and that sort of thing so there will be a slight lull in that for a time, definitely,” she says. “That might affect [the volume of cyberattacks] if there’s difficulty in buying certain types of malware.”But any lull in the number of cyberattacks is likely to be short-lived, Ferrett adds. “It’s almost inevitable that there will be a new source to purchase those things from,” she says. “These people are well-connected – they will seek out other places and probably be able to find them.” Topics in this article: cybercrime, Dark Web

Dmitry Olegovich Pavlov dovrà rispondere di associazione a delinquere per spaccio di stupefacenti e riciclaggio di denaroInformazioni finanziarie, documenti di identità falsi, ma anche droghe. Questa la merce presente su omg, il più grande (e antico, operativo dal 2015) mercato nero del web del mondo che è stato sequestrato e smantellato dalla polizia tedesca in collaborazione con quella americana.Le forze dell’ordine hanno dichiarato di aver preso possesso di un portafoglio digitale di 23 milioni di euro in Bitcoin mentre il gestore dei server, il 30enne russo Dmitry Olegovich Pavlov, è stato accusato di associazione a delinquere per spaccio di stupefacenti e riciclaggio di denaro.«Abbiamo avuto tutti la pelle d’oca quando è successo», ha spiegato Sebastian Zwiebel, della polizia tedesca, alla Bbc. «Ci stavamo lavorando da mesi e quando finalmente è successo è stato grande, davvero grande», ha aggiunto. Attualmente, secondo la polizia, al sito sono registrati 17 milioni di utenti e 19mila venditori. Tanti sono di lingua russa e offrono letteralmente di tutto, da diverse tipologie di droghe (eroina, metanfetamine, Lsd) alle armi passando per passaporti, ransomware, cambio di valute, servizi illeciti. Un vero e proprio mercato che dal 2015 ha raccolto circa 5,2 miliardi di dollari in criptovalute e che da solo conta per l’80% di tutte le transazioni commerciali del dark web.«Insieme ai nostri partner delle forze dell’ordine tedesche, abbiamo sequestrato l’infrastruttura del più grande mercato darknet del mondo, ma il nostro lavoro è tutt’altro che finito - ha affermato in una nota il procuratore generale degli Stati Uniti Merrick Garland - Continueremo a lavorare al fianco dei nostri partner internazionali e delle altre agenzie per distruggere e smantellare i mercati del darknet e per trovare i responsabili di chi commette crimini sul dark web», ha aggiunto Garland.
