Summary

Dark2Web was a darknet and clear-web cybercrime forum operated by the same individuals who ran the AudiA6 cryptocurrency laundering service. It served as the primary advertising hub and networking venue for ransomware affiliates, hackers, and other cybercriminals who used AudiA6 to launder proceeds. Both platforms were seized by an international law enforcement coalition on June 10-11, 2026, and their two alleged administrators were arrested in Georgia and face extradition to the United States.
