German Cops Raid “Cyberbunker 2.0,” Arrest 7 in Child Porn, Dark Web Market Sting
Summary: German authorities arrested seven people and were investigating six more after raiding a Dark Web hosting operation in a former military bunker in Traben-Trarbach, seizing more than 200 servers and $41 million in funds allegedly tied to markets including Wall Street Market, Cannabis Road and Orange Chemicals. The 59-year-old Dutch owner and Sven Kamphuis had previously run a bulletproof hosting business from a Dutch bunker that was raided and shut down, and Kamphuis was convicted years earlier for a DDoS attack that briefly impaired parts of the global Internet.
Key Takeaway: The same operators rebuilt their bulletproof hosting business in a second bunker after the first was shut down, and the seized infrastructure allegedly carried child porn, drug and cybercrime markets alongside $41 million in funds - a reminder that taking down one hosting provider does not remove the demand or the operators behind it.
