Europol on Friday announced that agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the FBI and Eurojust have taken down more than 400 cybercrime services accessible via the Tor browser. They include the dark market Silk Road 2.0. Its operator, Blake Benthall, was arrested, along with six Britons. Europol coordinated the effort. “Almost all crime now has an international nexus — and especially within HSI, we have significant dependency on other partners in law enforcement here and in other countries,” said ICE Special Agent Gary Hartwig.
