How to Verify a Dark Market Link Before You Click
Searches like dark market link, dark market links, onion market url, and official dark market link almost always lead to phishing traps first. This checklist is how careful researchers treat every URL.
Rule: A dark market link is untrusted until a known PGP signature (or multiple independent signed sources) confirms it.
Verification checklist
- Import the market’s long-term PGP key from more than one archive.
- Verify the signed mirror announcement — not a screenshot, the actual signature.
- Compare the .onion string character-by-character with a second source.
- Open only from Tor Browser on Tails/Whonix.
- Never paste passwords into a site that fails fingerprint checks.
