Description
You have, no doubt, seen the term ‘dark web’ in various news stories. However, many people in cybersecurity don’t know much about it, nor how to investigate it. The dark web is a web of sites that are available only via the TOR network. Now certainly not all of these are criminal sites. Many are simply discussion boards, political groups, and similar perfectly legal activities. However, the nature of the dark web provides a great deal of anonymity. And that makes it an ideal place for criminal activities.
Certainly, there are myths and scams on the dark web. For example, most of the sites purporting to be ‘assasins for hire’ are fake. They take the customers money and no one is harmed. However, there is a great deal of criminal activity on the dark web:
- Drug trafficking is a serious problem on the dark web.
- Buying and selling stolen credit cards, account numbers, and other financial crimes.
- Terrorist recruiting and propaganda.
- Child pornography.
