Hello and welcome back to a new video in section two,
importance of Dark Web and how dangerous it is. In this video,
we will talk about how dangerous it is the dark web.
If you're considering using the dark web for basic privacy purposes,
you might still question is the dark web dangerous to use?
Mostly it'll have lots of threats,
and it's very unsafe to serve around dark web,
mainly because unsafe grounding.
But there is also lots of malicious softwares also, uh,
which is a fully alive all across the dark web, often, uh, open,
uh, portals to give threat actors the tools for cyber attacks. However,
it also lingers all across the dark web and and fact unsuspecting users
just like it does on the rest, uh, of the web.
And the direct web doesn't carry as many of the social contracts The website
provides follow to protect user on the rest of the web. As such,
user can find themself regularly exposed to some types of mallor,
like key loggers, botnets, ransomware, and phishing.
And if you choose to pursue exploring any sites on the dark web,
you put yourself at risk of being singled out and targeted for hacks
and more.
Malware infection can be caught with your endpoint security programs and
not always,
and the threats of online browsing can extend into the unplugged word if your,
if your computer or the network connection can be exploited.
Anonymity is powerful with tour and the framework of the dark web,
but it's not infallible.
Any online activity can carry breadcrumbs or to your identify if
someone digs far enough. Second of all, we have like, uh,
governmental monitoring.
With many tour base sites being overtaken by police authorities across the
globe,
there is a clear danger of becoming government target for simply visiting
a dark website. Illegal drug marketplace like Silk Roads very famous,
have been hijacked for police surveyance in the past by utilizing custom
software to infiltrate and analyze the activity.
This has allowed law officials to discover user identities of patrons and
bystander alike. Even if you never make a purchase,
you could be washed and incriminate yourself for other activities later in life.
Infiltration can put you at risk of monitoring for other types of activity as
well. Evading government restriction to explore new political ideologies can be
imprisonable offense. In some countries like China,
China uses what is known as the Great Fi firewall limit access to popular
sites for the exact reason, the risk of being visitor to discontent,
to being placed on a watch list or immediate targeting for a jail sentence,
which is a huge deal. Third, we have scams, some alert services, uh,
like the professional hitman may just be scammed,
designed to profit from willing customers.
Reports have suggested that dark web offers many illegal services from paid
assassination to trafficking for sex and weapons. Some of these are well known,
established threats that circulates in the nuke of the web. However,
others may be taking advantages of the dark web reputation to trick users out of
large sums of money. Also,
some users on the dark web attempt to phishing scams to steal your identity or
personal information for extortion and identity theft is very common in dark
web, and at the end, uh,
we have blackmailing where there's lots of identity theft and
lots of tricking people, uh, leading them to,
to do unsafe stuff,
sharing stuff or even buying stuff through blackmailing,
and it's very dangerous for kids to. Thank you.
I will see you in the next video where we'll talk about dark web resources.
