Crime forum Darkode appears to be back with renewed vigor two weeks after it was obliterated in a global police raid that shut down the site and saw members arrested.
At least 28 users and administrators from 20 countries, including the UK, the US, and Australia were arrested in the international raid.
The most recent Darkode administrator known as Sp3cial1st confirmed the legitimacy of the site to UK researcher known as MalwareTech.
"It appears the raids focused on newly added individuals or people that have been retired from the scene for years," Sp3cial1st says.
"The forum will be back in onion land, it will be invite only, and members we can confirm are still active will be given an invite [and] no-one else.
"Each user will have their own Onion, [and] authentication to the forum will be made via the Blockchain API."
MalwareTech says the administrator known as Mafia was the biggest player to be arrested in the FBI sting, but agrees that the recent major Darkode identities seem to have escaped.
