Incognito Darknet Market Mass-Extorts Buyers, Sellers

Incognito Market operators have posted an extortion message threatening to publish a dump of 557,000 orders and 862,000 cryptocurrency transaction IDs unless vendors and buyers pay fees (ranging $100–$20,000). The incident follows reports of an exit scam where users could not withdraw funds; the market has added a payment status/whitelist portal and claims data retention despite supposed deletions, placing many narcotics vendors and buyers at risk of exposure.
