Evolution is an online black market operating on the Tor network. Launched in early 2014, it saw rapid growth within its first several months helped in part by law enforcement seizures of some of its competitors during the six-month long investigation codenamed Operation Onymous.[1] Wired estimates that as of October 11[update] it is one of the two largest drug markets.[2][3] It is notable for its security[4] as well as more lax rules on stolen credit cards and others kinds of fraud than similar sites like Silk Road.[3][5] Speaking about why Evolution was not part of Operation Onymous, head of European police cybercrimes division said it was "because there's only so much we can do on one day."[6]
