       | There's no equivalent remark on their IP space (185.132.53.0/24
       | and 2a0f:9400:6119::/48) yet.

       | So we have a dark web 'offering' advertising on a clearnet forum.
       | This is a conflict of interests IMHO. You're either fully
       | operating on the darkweb or you're not. Clearnet e-crime sites
       | are famously de-anonymized. It just takes a payment from PayPal
       | registered in your legal name to buy hosting services, and boom:
       | you've been decloaked by the authorities.
