Cicada Market was an online marketplace that operated on the dark web, primarily known for facilitating the sale of stolen data, hacking tools, and illegal services. It gained popularity among cybercriminals for its user-friendly interface and a wide range of illicit products, including credit card information, hacking software, and personal identification documents. The platform functioned similarly to other dark web markets, allowing users to buy and sell goods anonymously using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. However, it was shut down in 2021 as part of a larger crackdown on illegal online activities, highlighting ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat cybercrime.
