Hansa was an online darknet market which operated on a hidden service of the Tor network.
With the closure of AlphaBay in June 2017, it was predicted to become one of the leading markets.[1] However on July 20, 2017 it was revealed that it had been compromised by law enforcement for several weeks before closing shortly after AlphaBay as a culmination of multinational law enforcement operation Operation Bayonet.[2][3]
Dutch police impersonated the site's administrators, collecting usernames and passwords. Local cybercrime prosecutor Martijn Egberts claimed to have obtained around 10,000 addresses of Hansa buyers outside of Holland.[4] During this time, the police allowed the Hansa userbase (then growing from 1000 to 8000 vendors per day, due to the AlphaBay shutdown[3]) to make illegal transations in order to collect evidence for future prosecution of users.[5]
After shut down, the site displayed a seizure notice and directed users to their hidden service politiepcvh42eav.onion/hansafaq.html[6] to find more information about the operation.[7]
