Our black market data is displayed in the following manner:
- Havocscope Black Market Indexes: The rankings of global black market products and activities are based on publicly available sources that estimate the market value of each product and country. The source for each market value is listed on the top of the page. In addition to an index on all black market products and countries, indexes are also provided based on industry specific activities such as Counterfeit Goods and the Global Drug Trade.
- Havocscope Black Market Data: Through the use of open-source WordpPress software, data is collected and displayed for users to easily gather key figures and statistics of black market activities. Key information is written as a post, allowing users to sort through various products and countries using the tag and category function.
- Havocscope Black Market Search Engine: Since it is impossible to compile all black market information within a single website, the Black Market Search Engine provides search results that focuses primarily on black market issues. Powered by Google Custom Search Technology, websites such as newspapers, research organizations, and non-governmental organizations are given priority to ensure relevant results.
