Operation DisrupTor was an international investigation targeting drug traffickers on the dark web. Coordinated by the Joint Criminal Opioid and Darknet Enforcement, the operation was initiated and managed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The operation also included assistance from the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, United States Secret Service, United States Postal Inspection Service, IRS Criminal Investigation, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and local law enforcement agencies.
The operation was announced on September 22, 2020 by Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen at a joint press conference. The name of the operation is a portmanteau of "disrupt" and Tor, an open-source anonymity network that is often used to access the dark web.
