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 $20,000.
@briankrebs So you're expected to press »Purge records« and pay US$ 5,000 for that - right after having read »And by the way, your messages and transaction IDs were never actually deleted after the "expiry"«? 🤔
@katzenberger @briankrebs if I were the operator, I would only release the records of those who paid. Presumably that's where the good stuff is anyway.
