Black Market Reloaded back online following source code publication error
Black Market Reloaded, a black market site that was gathering strength after the demise of Silk Road, closed and then re-opened this week following a security flaw that saw parts of its source code posted online. That leak wasn't the result of FBI counter-intellience, underworld hackers, or devious hosting firms. When someone visited the site, it apparently just handed the source code over. The founder of the site, nicknamed Backopy on the Black Market Reloaded (BMR) forum, originally pulled the site after finding its source code posted on a forum. They promised to get people their....

On the heels of Ross Ulbricht’s official Silk Road court case, it seems like the site is back online and more powerful than ever. The Silk Road returned under the title, “Silk Road Reloaded,” and claims to be even more private than its TOR predecessor. Utilizing an alternative network, called the Invisible Internet Project (I2P), the Silk Road Reloaded can only be accessed by downloading special software. In order to access the new Silk Road, interested parties need to download I2P software. The website URL is silkroadreloaded.i2p, but standard internet browsers will realize that the site....
If reports are to be believed, a new version of the online drug marketplace Silk Road - "Silk Road Reloaded" - has been launched recently. It is only a coincidence that the new Silk Road's introduction arrived only after the death of its predecessor Silk Road 2.

Since then, claims have emerged suggesting far more coins were stolen, with many users saying the owners themselves have....
