The name Solaris might not ring a bell, but it's (or was) one of the larger darknet markets out there. The Market captured about 25% of Hydra's customers after its seizure and thrives in Russian territory. However, Solaris has been hacked for the second time in two months; this time by a smaller competitor called 'Kraken'. The first time was done by a cybersecurity firm, Hold Security.
According to the Kraken Admins, the team managed to take full control of Solaris Darknet Market's backend thanks to "several huge bugs in the code". This includes market infrastructure, GitLab repository, and the project source code.
A note on the Kraken marketplace regarding Solaris:
The project has several huge bugs in the code, which to this day remain relevant, you can turn over and over again. Also, storing passwords and keys from your servers in clear text is an even bigger mistake, the lot of schoolchildren from the 5th desk
This event took us 3 days in a calm mode, and we downloaded absolutely EVERYTHING that is supposed to be in such cases (and no one stopped us). PS We deliberately disabled the bitcoin server so that no one steals anything, but probably in vain).
After taking control, the Darknet Kraken team turned the Solaris homepage link into a redirect to the Kraken Market homepage. Kraken said that the Solaris hack was “a response to aggression in our direction” and that “the same applies to others.”
Both Solaris and Kraken have ties to Russia. However, the motives of the hack are unlikely to be political. At this time, Solaris core team has yet to issue any announcement about the platform status.
thats crazy bro (I like dudes)
