Who uses the dark web ?
- The dark web began as a channel for anonymous communication, making it attractive to hackers and criminals. While it continues to be a haven for illicit activity, it does have legitimate and lawful uses as well.
- For example, the dark web can help users communicate in environments or geographical areas where free speech isn't protected. Dark web social media networks also exist, such as specialized clubs and BlackBook, which is considered the Facebook of Tor.
- The primary use of the dark web is for e-commerce. With the use of cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin, users can make any purchase on the dark web without revealing their identity.
This lends itself well to criminal activity and hidden services, such as:
• hitmen
• purchasing and selling credit card numbers, bank account numbers or online banking information
• money laundering
• illegal content like child pornography
• purchasing and selling illegal drugs
• purchasing and selling counterfeit money
• purchasing and selling weapons
