14 Sept 2026 DarkMatterMarket down, Hugbunter questions admins “attacked by LE” claim.
With DarkMatters main Onion being down the Admin Quasar has confirmed that private links are still operational but that withdrawal delays will happen as the wallet is under maintenance.
Quasar1:
“Since my last post about maintenance in lieu of a new attack vector, we have been able to improve stability on captcha links. Captcha link access is certainly not perfect, but we are heading in the right direction.
The attacker is very persistent and very strong so this is not an overnight fix.Private link access is still stable. I got some messages on jabber about private links being disabled but this isn't true, private links remain functional.As part of maintenance, we need to make updates that impact the market wallet.
This means withdrawal delays can happen as the wallet is under maintenance. Last time we had to do wallet maintenance, we took the market offline completely to avoid a backlog of deposit/withdrawal issues, but I received general criticism for that decision so this time we are keeping the market online to avoid people thinking we disappeared. Of course, some people will be unhappy either way, but that is what is going on.Support tickets received about missing withdrawals or deposits are being automatically stored but not manually responded to, because 99% of these issues should be resolved over the next 24-48 hours. After that, myself and support team will begin to manually review the log of withdrawal based tickets and perform a manual push of any withdrawals that were not auto processed. So if your ticket isn't responded to, it doesn't mean anything nefarious – rather it's just automatically in a queue.I won't lie – the last week or so has been a challenging time. We’ve never faced an attacker this strong and with this much resources. It's not another market or competitor, either. LE wants to take away your ability to access the dark web and we need to stand strong. We are the first target now because we are the oldest market but it's not a problem that will be unique to us. We ask you to stick out through this stress test because we aren't backing down. Could dark matter be affiliated to https://www.drugs.com/ with an onion working link instead of google link? That is the question many have ask and many still have unanswered answer.

“Ok so I can’t comment on the issues at hand directly, I don’t know firstly the market’s setup or how things are running. But priority 1 is withdrawals working. If they are not and there is some sort of issue causing withdrawals to fail, then at that time, it is an absolute necessity that deposits are disabled in the form of disallowing access to deposit addresses until that issue is solved.I confirmed that private mirrors were disabled/down, and can now see they are up again or at least what I checked. Access issues and withdrawals are entirely separate problems, while both can occur at the same time, they are not linked.You CANNOT claim that you are being “attacked by LE”. That is a statement that, unless law enforcement themselves release a statement to confirm this, it is something you can never claim as a fact. But the chances of this being the case are slimmer than me winning the lottery, without buying a ticket. Not only is it illegal for them to carry out these attacks, but for the most part it is fruitless. There has never been any sort of confirmation of Law Enforcement attacking hidden services, if they have it would have been through a third party country who is able to do so legally, if you think that it is likely to be common or occurring now then you are very wrong.
It's worrying that these things have been stated as fact, when the average viewer is likely to blindly believe it and you also disabled comments on the post.I am unlocking comments here.Solve the issues and provide updates.
