In short many people associate the dark web with nefarious activities and consider it a world away from what they and their business are doing.
The dark web can be accessed by anyone and although it is known for its dark side, in some countries where free speech and free journalism is not permitted, it is here on the dark web. This is not a place to explore as your computer could easily be exposed to hackers or ransomware. Information found on the dark web is unregulated.
From a cyber security threat perspective, the dark web is where cybercriminals sell or trade stolen information, such as personal banking details, social security numbers, digital credentials, IP or other trade secrets. While activity on the dark web is anonymous, law enforcement agencies, the intelligence community and cybersecurity professionals often maintain a presence on the dark web in an attempt to monitor, trace or trap cybercriminals.
For many, simply knowing what information is being bought and sold online may help organisations and people take the appropriate steps to protect their information and assets. The currency used on the dark web is Bitcoin, a currency that can’t be traced. Ransomware is an attack that will encrypt your system and ask for money to release your system back to normal. Activity on the dark web is made anonymous through a series of routing and encryption techniques.
