For the new users if you wanna stay safe : DarkNetMarkets | Torhoo darknet markets
To be fair I personally think that the governments have enough resources to decrypt anything they want if they like. I think they are infiltrating markets as we speak and waiting for the right moment to engage their attacks.
That's just my bet.
And the worst thing you can do is using devices such as phones. So use PGP every time you share your personal information when purchasing something on the markets. If NSA can infiltrate Iran's nuclear program with a virus, which they did, then decrypting our VPN should be piece of cake for them.
Another important thing is to make sure you use a VPN and a sock5. Just make sure that the VPN provider only accepts cryptocurrencies. If they accept credit cards i'm almost 100% sure they store logs, which is what can expose you.
And if you wanna be even more safe then don't log on market when you're home. Go to a cafe and use their wifi.
To end this: If you're a buyer and not a vendor, then you're the small fish and they most likely won't target you, but you never really know
Kind regards

I think they have better things to do with their time than try and track/profile every drugs vendors using that are using proper opsec.
Besides, it is commonly accepted nowadays using a VPN is unnecessary and in many cases can be detrimental to your anonymity.
There are already multiple guides to assist noobs that cover all the necessities for small buyers.
2^48 seconds = 9 million years. I think we're safe for now
So no, LE don't have access to alien level quantum hypercomputing lol
In the background they could see the make and model of the centrifuges they used.
From there they wrote a virus targeting a very specific type of PLC (Phillips I think)
The infection was transferred by ordinary physical transfer such as someone taking a computer in to be repaired etc.
The virus searched for the specific PLC and stayed dormant if one was not discovered.
There was no actual cracking or hacking into online systems because those systems are not accessible via the internet, they are all offline.
The actual virus only destroyed about 10 or 20% of the centrifuges but it was enough to put the program back by a significant margin.
It destroyed them by sending them into overdrive speed and alternating between that and stop.
What they did was far easier than breaking a 128 bit key.
