Cannazon, one of the largest dark web marketplaces for buying marijuana products, shut down last week after suffering a debilitating distributed denial of service attack.

As the admins explained in a message signed with the market's PGP key, they are officially retiring and aren't pulling exit scam tricks on their vendors.
The admins posted that message on November 23, 2021, and today, Cannazon went offline, allegedly forever.

A DDoS attack led to shut down
The site was hit by a massive DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack at the start of the month, which is not uncommon for dark web markets.

The shutdown announcement apologizes for the lack of transparency in how the admins handled the situation and states the following:

"We are very sorry that we had to keep you in the dark for the last days. In our opinion this was the best way to prevent some vendors from trying to exit scam, harming you and the community," read the shutdown announcement from the site admins.

With the shut down of Cannazon, it would not be surprising to see other sites created using the same name under a new Tor address. However, these will likely be operated by scammers looking to defraud the original site's members.

The emergence of fake clone sites is typical when a large and well-known dark web platform goes offline.
