Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox website Dread is a Reddit-like dark web discussion forum featuring news and discussions around darknet markets. The site's administrators go by the alias of Paris and HugBunter.[1]

History

Dread is a popular community hub which has been described as a "Reddit-style forum" and the successor of the seized DeepDotWeb for discussion around market law enforcement activity and scams.[2][3] It came to prominence in 2018 after Reddit banned several darknet market discussion communities, rapidly reaching 12,000 registered users within three months of being launched, and 14,683 users by June 2018.[4] In September 2019, HugBunter's dead man's switch was triggered,[5] accompanied by a weeks-long absence, signifying the temporary loss of control over the site. The site would be reinstated in November,[6] with a revamped user interface, and remains active as of September 2022. It became known that the cause of the outage was a server failure, according to HugBunter,[6] despite rumorsШаблон:By whom concerning a potential compromising from a third party or law-enforcement authority.

Activities

In May 2019 a moderator of Wall Street Market posted its hidden IP address to Dread, potentially leading to its exit scam and seizure shortly after.[7][8][9] Stolen data is sometimes sold via Dread.[10] The site features in-depth guides around manufacture of illegal drugs.[11] The shutdown of Dream Market was announced on Dread in March 2019.[12] Major denial-of-service attacks have been launched against Dread and other markets exploiting a vulnerability in the Tor protocol.[13]
