Britain's National Crime Agency has arrested six people as part of a major crackdown on the hidden "dark web". Those held include the suspected administrators of the online drug market place Silk Road 2.0 - which sprung up after the original was shut down - as well as illegal drug vendors on the dark web. The European Cybercrime Centre - using intelligence developed by US counterparts - also took down the technical infrastructure that is key to the hosting of the illegal market places.
As a result, more than 400 dark websites disappeared from the web. The dark web consists of websites and content which is not indexed by standard searched engines, but can be accessed with relative ease using special software.
