A Ukrainian says that he broke into the Solaris drug market's master wallet and diverted its funds to a Ukrainian humanitarian charity.
The Mequon, Wisconsin resident is playing dark web Robin Hood: His team at Hold Security has hacked into one of Russia's largest online drug markets, dubbed Solaris, and diverted crypto due to dealers and the site's owners to a charity, Enjoying Life, which provides humanitarian aid across Ukraine.
Holden, who left Kyiv as a teenager in the 1980s amidst fallout of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, declined to reveal how he did it, but said he was able to take control of much of the internet infrastructure powering Solaris, a number of administrator accounts running the illicit bazaar, website source code and a database of its users, as well as drop off locations for drug deliveries.

Holden is now sitting on a substantial cache of information on Solaris’ users and operations, which he believes could be used to identify the whereabouts of any Russian cybercriminals who’re using the site to fuel their operations. He’s also kept control over various parts of the market, so far without being detected. By going public via Forbes, he wants to spook the owners into closing the site. There’s a political edge to the attack too. “Maybe Russians without their drugs would soberly look at their country and do something,” he said. “Maybe the Kremlin won’t defend their country’s drug trade and fix the drug problems instead of invading Ukraine.”

Holden, believing Killnet is funded by Solaris’ drugs money, added that “maybe severing this connection will remove some fuel from the Killnet garbage fire.” >
