    fwiw and to spell it out for the hard of understanding they were trolling the users by saying have 'no' but we wouldn't tell you even if we had >WINK< (we did) and then present a PGP signature with 'proof' that they had - the sig is invalid btw and in any case could have been replayed. More recently I read that they allegedly waterholed a child abuse site in order to pwn one of the admins. So although none on Hansa they knew the admin was a disgusting piece of filth (or maybe by sheer luck?) Anyways - good work fellas.

I always find it incredible when these takedowns occur, how much effort they put into the graphical design. And it doesn't look like a hobby designer among the police did this, but they hired somebody. Also, considering this is a drug sting, which should be a really serious thing, it's strange that they make a joke on the page. I would expect a plain HTML page saying "This hidden service hosted illegal activities. All transactions have been logged. If you participated in these activities, contact your local authorities."

  http://rijkshuisstijl.nl/ http://rijkshuisstijl.nl/ (roughly "government house style / style guide") We even have bespoke fonts, Rijksoverheid Serif and Rijksoverheid Sans: https://www.rijkshuisstijl.nl/basiselementen/lettertype https://www.rijkshuisstijl.nl/basiselementen/lettertype This image, however, seems to be a stock photo, the Dutch police logo, and white lettering. Given that it uses no less than four different fonts, I bet it was a quick paste job by someone from the cybercrime unit, not a professional graphic designer. After some image searching, it turns out to be from a template: https://www.om.nl/publish/pages/51619/screenshot_zonder_browser.jpg https://www.om.nl/publish/pages/51619/screenshot_zonder_brow...
