Notorious markets

Consumer confidence is rebounding in Europe, leading to a surge in online shopping this year, according to Ecommerce Europe, as reported by Reuters. This resurgence is partly attributed to increased competition from budget-friendly online marketplaces like PDD Holdings' Temu, which are appealing to cost-conscious shoppers.

In an effort to protect users from the proliferation of online scams and general crime on the internet, the Ministry of Digital Governance is in the final stages of drafting a law, which will be put out for public consultation in the near future, with rules and control procedures governing online communications, information and transactions. 

The most visited torrent site in Bulgaria, Zamunda.net, is unavailable. The first signs of emerging problems with the operation of the tracker were observed from the evening of February 21.

The site's collapse comes about a day after the office of the Prosecutor General office asked for help the US Department of Justice for blocking Zamunda.

The websites Zamunda.net and Zamunda.se are operational again, reported 24 chasa.

The two torrent trackers were inaccessible on Monday but the reason for this was not a hacker attack.

It turned out that there was regular maintenance of the servers.
