BlackOps launched in September 2024.
BlackOps is a fairly new dark web market, beginning activity in September 2024. It quickly gained popularity, perhaps owing to unique features such as a variable vendor fee based on number of sales and the option to add market users as employees. Its product offerings are fairly standard, though one quirk is that the number of digital products for sale exceeds its drug-related listings.
