About
Driftlock is an independent security research identity focused on identifying online drug trafficking infrastructure — primarily Telegram-based marketplaces and the domains, registrars, and hosting providers that support them.
Findings are documented and reported through legitimate channels to the relevant registrars, hosting providers, platform abuse teams, and law enforcement. This site exists as a transparent, public record of that reporting activity.
Reporting Overview
Methodology
All research is strictly passive and relies only on publicly available information. Sources include rendered page source, WHOIS and DNS records, and public-facing listings and channel content.
Driftlock conducts no infiltration, accesses no non-public data, and engages in no direct interaction with vendors or operators. Research does not involve purchases, undercover contact, account compromise, or any attempt to access systems or data not openly published.
- Observation is limited to information already public to any visitor.
- Collected indicators (domains, registrars, hosts, public handles) are used solely to prepare abuse reports.
- Reports are routed to the parties with authority to act — registrars, hosts, platforms, and law enforcement.
- Outcomes are tracked over time; if a reported domain re-emerges, it is flagged Back online and a follow-up entry is filed.
