Navigating the Shadows: Dark Web Marketplaces and Their Impact on Business Security
The Dark Web is a segment of the Deep Web, inaccessible through standard web browsers like Chrome or Safari. Instead, it requires special software such as the Tor (The Onion Router) browser, which anonymises user activity by routing it through multiple servers. While the Deep Web houses non-indexed content like academic databases or medical records, the Dark Web hosts a distinct group of hidden sites. Its marketplaces are notoriously associated with illegal trading, raising unique challenges for businesses and law enforcement.
