The new trend was seen by ResecURIT analysts at about the beginning of the third quarter of 2022. According to experts, darknet markets began to actively create and promote their Android applications for ordering prohibited substances, thus responding to pressure from law enforcement agencies.
as reports resecUmyity, several smaller smaller ones markets (Yakudza, Tomford24, 24deluxe, PNTS32, Flakka24, 24CANA, MAPSTGK) tried to snatch a piece of the user base of the destroyed hydra marketplace, releasing the application on the engine M-Club CMS.
“Some of these mobile applications were found on phones that were seized from suspects involved in the schemes for trade in prohibited substances,” experts say. “Mobile applications allow you to transmit information about orders with prohibited substances (photos of goods, cost and coordinates of the” parcel “) in the form of an image, which increases safety”.
When the exchange of such information occurs in several different applications, this leads to fragmentation of data and limits the capabilities of law enforcement agencies for tracking couriers and customers. Resecurity analysts believe that almost all the darkennes-market lines launched this year will have their own Android application, trying to replace them with forums and various platforms for the sale of prohibited substances.
