There is absolutely no valid reason alphabay's links should be missing from the superlist. To remove them over a vulnerability (WHICH ONLY AFFECTED RETARDS WHO WERE USING CLEARTEXT WHEN DISCUSSING INTERNATIONAL DRUG TRACKING USING PRIVATE MESSAGES ON A SITE RAN BY RUSSIAN CARDERS ) is unfair. The vulnerability itself was fixed in 5 hours.
Alphabay works. Everybody knows it works. My dog knows it works. Software vulnerabilities happen. Professional software developers fuck up all of it the time, even when making commercial software which handles millions of dollars. Alphabay, so far, has outlasted and outperformed the competition. There is a reason it is the most widely used marketplace. Attempting to prevent people from using a functional marketplace REEKS of either personal greed or law enforcement infiltration. The motive is extremely obvious. PLUS, the leak only affects those who were communicating in cleartext through market messages. This shouldn't even be problem.
What we can take away from this is as follows: NEVER TALK ABOUT IMPORTANT SHIT IN CLEAR TEXT YOU FUCKING RETARDS
tl;dr
- ALWAYS ENCRYPT YOUR COMMUNICATIONS
- ALPHABAY WORKS (SO FAR)
- The Feds/Greedy Reddit Admins want you to use something else
- Be Smart
I find it hypocritical that alphabay was removed off the list no questions asked, yet oasis and nucleus lasted months in the list without any hurry on removing them.
