Tokyo Police

The FBI actually fished on the dark web, thanks to Sean's idea of ​​​​such a bizarre idea. In fact, Sean and the department he leads have not only done so, but with great effect.

Sean's cybersecurity countermeasures team creates several sites for illegal transactions on the dark web almost every day. Its business scope covers counterfeit banknote manufacturing, gun trading, drug dealing, and even the sale of illegally obtained credit card information, forged passports and social security documents and other illegal transactions. Although the method seems to be unremarkable, there are always some guys who don't know much about the dark web. After these guys made online payments through Bitcoin, they thought that someone really sent these illegal things to their hands, but in the end what they waited for were federal agents who came to the door and cold handcuffs.

However, all of this is based on the fact that Silk Road, the largest illegal trading platform in the former darknet, was destroyed by the FBI. When the Silk Road still existed, most of the illegal transactions on the dark web were carried out through the Silk Road. The FBI took great pains to find out the behind-the-scenes boss of Silk Road. But when a Silk Road falls, the vacated market share will be replaced by other similar sites. You must know that the Silk Road was successfully broken by the FBI back then, not because of technical reasons. The FBI relied on the intelligence provided by an undercover agent who successfully penetrated into the Silk Road, which made several core members of the Silk Road suspicious of each other, and finally disintegrated this seemingly irreversible fortress from the inside.

After satisfying his initial curiosity, Lin Xiuyi gradually recovered from his shock. Sean's method does seem to have produced a great effect, but this method is somewhat palliative. After all, it is only some small thieves who are not vigilant who can be phished by the FBI. Although the number is huge, it cannot shake the foundation of the global underground trade. Moreover, these phishing sites by the FBI are now disrupting the overall market credibility of dark web exchanges. This makes websites like Silk Road have a strong market demand.

Sean couldn't help feeling a little curious when he saw that Lin Xiuyi suddenly stopped talking. He still admired Lin Xiuyi's ability very much, and he also wanted to know what better insights Lin Xiu had on his work.

"Lin... what's the matter? Did you suddenly think of something?"

Sean looked at Lin Xiuyi, smiled and asked Lin Xiuyi for advice.

"Sean, I'm a little curious, I want to know, are there any websites on the dark web that are similar in scale to the Silk Road? Your set, although very efficient, IMHO, this will only make Those reputable and powerful underground trading platforms are becoming more and more popular.”

"Ha... It seems that you have seen this too, let's be honest with you! I didn't expect fishing to solve the fundamental problem at all. You know the one who played a major role in cracking the Silk Road case back then. Where is the undercover agent now? I'm afraid you can't even imagine that he's serving time in the highest level of federal prison? In fact, I have a vague sense that the FBI is not actually grasping the core of the Silk Road. Membership. On many darknet forums, there are many very well-known hackers claiming that Silk Road has been rebuilt, and some claiming that Silk Road 2.0 uses a more hidden membership system. But so far, we have not found Any clues about this site..."

Sean grabbed Lin Xiu and told him the truth in a low voice. When Lin Xiu looked at Sean, Sean first blinked at Lin Xiu, and then gave him a meaningful smile.

...

When Lin Xiuyi finished his one-day inspection of the Cybercrime Countermeasure Center, he returned to the hotel with his subordinates. Lin Xiuyi, who was thinking of going downstairs to have a drink and relax, was blocked by Miki in the room. I wonder if today's visit shocked Miki. Or maybe it opened a door for her that had never been opened before, and Miki suddenly became curious about things like the dark web and the Silk Road.

"Police, I remember that during the daytime today, Chief Sean mentioned that the undercover federal agent who cracked the Silk Road is now serving his sentence in the highest-level federal prison! Do you know why?"

Miki took out her notebook and found some of the content she had recorded during the day from it, and asked Lin Xiuyi for advice. As Lin Xiuyi's long-time subordinate, Miki still knows a lot about Lin Xiuyi. Although this young and outrageous police officer is physically weak, he is a criminal investigator that the Metropolitan Police Department and the FBI highly value. It would not even be an exaggeration to say that he is the ace of the Metropolitan Police.

"Is this? Although I have no specific knowledge, but the explanation circulating within the FBI is that the undercover agent embezzled a total of one billion US dollars in bitcoin in the Silk Road case. In addition, he also murdered A suspect in charge of financial affairs within Silk is trying to conceal his crime... But I'm afraid I can't get the specific relevant information..."

"Eh? That's really a pity! To be able to solve such a big case with one hand, this police officer must be a very powerful person. I really didn't expect that he would guard himself against theft..."

Miki suddenly said to Lin Xiuyi with some emotion ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door. Lin Xiuyi opened the door and saw, who was it if it wasn't Urashima?

"Police, do you want to go to the bar downstairs for a drink together! Hey, Miki-senpai is here too?"

"Ah, Urashima-kun is here, was just about to find you? Since everyone is here, let's go down and experience the bar atmosphere here! By the way, I forgot to tell you one more thing, tomorrow night Xiao En invited us to his house for dinner, and I'll go to the boutique downstairs to pick out a present for his wife, Miki-chan, I'll have you in a while!"

As soon as Lin Xiu finished speaking, he walked in front of Miki, picked up her notebook, closed it, and placed it on his desk. Seeing that everyone had no intention of working, Miki could only go out of the room and go downstairs to rest according to Lin Shuichi and Urashima's ideas.

Everyone took the elevator to the bar downstairs. Everyone ordered a few glasses of light beer and drank it for a while. Then they went to the boutique in the hotel to buy a bottle of good wine for Sean's wife as a gift for tomorrow. However, when Lin Xiuyi really picked up the glass, he felt that he was doing nothing because he was a little sorry for Kawauchi Mika who died. He always felt that he couldn't just passively wait for the progress of the British.
