Kerberos is a dark web market that began operation in 2022.
Since its launch it’s stayed fairly under the radar, perhaps owing to the fact that it does not maintain an official presence on Dread. Despite this, Kerberos has been consistently active and maintains a substantial userbase of vendors and customers, predominantly trading in drugs and stolen logins.
March 2026 Update
Kerberos is believed to have exit-scammed in February 2026.
