The Dark Web is smaller, and may be less dangerous, than we think

Another Dark Web market has been closed, and its leaders arrested. Law enforcement seems to be getting a handle on the Dark Web—is it really as big of a threat as it is made out to be?

The second largest illicit market on the Dark Web, Wall Street Market (WSM) has been seized by law enforcement, and three of its alleged operators have been arrested in Germany.
The arrests are the latest in a series of chaotic events surrounding the now-defunct WSM in which unknown individuals who ran the site performed an "exit scam" that found them making off with over $12.4 million USD in Bitcoins from WSM merchants.
The exit scam prompted a WSM moderator to blackmail users with the threat of leaking their physical addresses and evidence of illegal orders. That same moderator later published WSM server information and backdoor admin credentials to the Dark Web, leading to the police takedown and the arrest of three people believed to be the site's operators.
