If you bought or sold something on the darknet bazaar Incognito Market, you may be in for a surprise. Apparently Incognito is now extorting all of its former users, saying that depending on their vendor level, not having your info leaked could cost between $100 and $20,000.

BTW, this mass extortion attempt comes just days after Incognito pulled an exit scam. So, this is a double whammy for users and vendors.
