Dark Web
The dark web is the hidden part of the internet that exists outside of normal search engines and browsers. It consists mostly of websites, forums, and services that can only be accessed using special software such as The Onion Router (Tor). These sites are often used for illegal activities such as buying drugs or weapons, sharing stolen data, or hosting malicious content. However, there are legitimate uses including providing a way to protect privacy and bypass censorship in some countries.
Cryptocurrency on the Dark Web
Cryptocurrencies have become popular among criminals who use them to buy goods anonymously on the dark web due to their decentralized nature and lack of regulation. Bitcoin is currently the most widely used cryptocurrency for these transactions but other cryptocurrencies like Monero are becoming increasingly popular due to their enhanced anonymity features which make it harder for law enforcement agencies to trace transactions back to individuals. As with any online transaction involving money it’s important to exercise caution when dealing with unknown parties on the dark web since scams and frauds do occur from time-to-time.
