A hacker by the name of bRpsd hacked the Dark Web Portal of an Albanian mafia group called Besa, stole all the data them and made them available online.
The Besa Mafia team is one of Albania's largest criminal organizations, and came out of Besa, meaning "trust" in Albanian.
The Besa team is very active across Europe, but has been seen to work on other continents as well.
The webσελίδα on the Dark Web he represented the group and offered the services of assassins for hire.
Data that has been stolen from this site also contained two CSV files that contained 2.682 personal messages and 38 hit orders. In addition, there were 60 photos in a ZIP file of supposed goals.
The hacker also leaked the administrator password along with details of about 330 accounts on the site.
Leaked user account information includes user names, hashed passwords, e-mail addresses, and user status.
The hacker made his findings public, and the content it is quite "shocking". Below are "orders" found on the website.
“Here it is facebook her. Put a bullet in her head. I don't want her body to be seen by the public and her parents, so it will be better if you do your work when she is on her way to school, and it will be better if you can finish the work before next Monday. "
"He was beaten. His photo can be seen on his facebook: [there was a URL] ”
"He was beaten badly, he has bruises and some blood, but they will not do anything else. The target is about 173 meters high and thick. He can counterattack hard so make a surprise attack before he can react. The target usually walks at night or late at night. Its address is [removed]. "
Another even more interesting message revealed that the owners of the site collaborated with local authorities for police investigations.
"[Removed] @ gmail.com Contact us for information on a possible hit on a person in Watauga, Tx. We have information that came to me from the Texas Irving Police Department. You can tell us the customer's intentions, his contact details "
" Thanks for the quick reply. Please have the customer send a blank e-mail to …[email protected] so that we can engage that person directly. Please tell him he might have a brother. This should be the last communication we have together. We would also like you to send the customer photo. Since time is of the essence please have the customer and contact us as soon as possible. Thanks again."

And then things start to get bizarre as site administrators started telling researchers who contacted them after hacking, that their website is actually fake, and that it is a group of developers from Europe.
"We are a group of developers living in Europe, and we made this website like a honeypot to attract criminals, to fight crime."
"We are also willing to work with the FBI to provide information if they wish."
