German Police Seize Second Crypto-Fueled Cyberbunker

German police have raided and shut down Cyberbunker 2.0, a decommissioned NATO bunker that housed dark web market servers and child porn.

The bunker, hidden in the Mosel River town of Traben-Trarbach, held multiple stories of servers as well as "$41 million worth of funds allegedly tied to these markets," according to security researcher Brian Krebs.

"Incredibly, for at least two of the men accused in the scheme, this was their second bunker-based hosting business that was raided by cops and shut down for courting and supporting illegal activity online," said Krebs.

Police also raided locations in Netherlands, Poland and Luxembourg in connection with the bunker's activities.

The bunker held multiple dark web markets including the financial scam site "Wall Street Market," drug portal "Cannabis Road" and "Orange Chemicals," a market for synthesized drugs.

Police believe the bunker belonged to Herman Johan Xennt and Sven Kamphuis, two hackers who originally ran a similar bunker in the Netherlands.

After a fire caused by an explosion in an ecstasy lab, they had to shut down their original bunker and lost their ability to run their servers in the Netherlands.

"They're known for hosting scammers, fraudsters, pedophiles, phishers, everyone," said Guido Blaauw, director of Disaster-Proof Solutions, the company that sold the original bunker to the pair.

Xennt, who looks like a Bond villain, lives in the bunker.

He is pasty, white-skinned and sports long blonde hair.
