Screenshots From Dark Web

Folks were using multiple accounts simultaneously to deposit the high volume of checks. They were simply purchasing from the markets and depositing on different accounts.

Over six months we tracked a single criminal, counting the number of images of credit cards and the number of screenshots of bank accounts showing zero balances that he posted.This article accompanies Heists Worth Billions, an investigation from The Conversation that found criminal gangs using sham bank accounts and secret online marketplaces to steal from almost anyone – and uncovered just how little being done to combat the fraud.

In this behind-the-story video, Maimon shows some of the hundreds of thousands of bank-related images that he and his team have collected from the dark web and text message applications, and the research these discoveries spurred them to do. That research sparked the investigative story Heists Worth Billions, which Maimon teamed up to write with The Conversation’s senior investigative editor Kurt Eichenwald. Here’s how Maimon and colleagues uncovered the crimes, and his remarks from a follow-up interview.This is a serious problem that is largely being ignored. It’s our hope that exposing the magnitude of this will help spur action, because far too many people are losing far too much money to this type of crime.

We’re seeing this increasing trend from one single actor and, of course, being out there in the ecosystem, we are able to see more and more copycats: more and more folks like the individual we’re monitoring, offering their services.He and his group are well familiar with what happens on the dark web, which consists of websites that look like ordinary websites but can be reached only using special browsers or authorization codes and are often used to sell illegal commodities.

But with bank accounts, it’s a different story, because the credit freeze does not affect your ability to establish a new bank account under someone else’s name.Make sure you freeze your credit. Make sure you purchase some kind of identity theft protection plan, which will alert you every time someone is using your identity. And simply monitor your bank account on a daily basis, monitor your credit card.My group and I spend a lot of time on underground markets in which criminals sell all kinds of illicit commodities. We see a lot of counterfeit products. We see a lot of identities. And in mid-2021 we started to see a lot of checks flooding the markets.Now that you know what the deep and dark web are, seeing their differences may be a bit easier. But just to make sure you have a clear picture, we’ve outlined them for you below.Instead, the deep web describes all web pages hidden from the search engines we use every day. Website owners hide their sites to protect information not meant for public viewing, like email and banking accounts, private social media pages, and electronic health records. Imagine if someone were able to Google your name and have your email account and/or health records pop up instantly. Thanks to the deep web, this doesn’t happen.

People often use the dark web to keep their online activity anonymous. And this increased protection is what can motivate cybercriminals to use the platform for illegal activity.

That doesn’t mean that only criminals visit the dark web. There are publications on the dark web whose editors and founders believe it’s the only way to obtain and sustain a truly free press.The dark web is a different experience. It is a more guarded subspace of the deep web, hosting encrypted websites for its users. However, these sites are only accessible through certain web browsers. Some people use this encrypted space to help protect their identity and online privacy, but other hackers like to use these features to carry out illegal activities. It is these shady dealings that give the dark web its seedy, dangerous reputation.

The deep web can help protect personal information, but that doesn’t mean that clever hackers can’t still crack the sits on it. Cybercriminals often use tactics like credential stuffing and password spraying to obtain the details they need to steal and expose your data.Because Tor servers keep users and publishers completely anonymous, there’s no way to regulate or control the content, products, and services being offered inside the dark web. There’s also no way to trace communications or keep financial tabs on responsible parties because all payments are made and received using Bitcoin, a digital currency that operates independently of a central bank.

The Tor browser — which stands for The Onion Routing — will keep your online activity anonymous and let you visit websites on the dark web. The challenge, though, is that you must know the website addresses you want to visit. The dark web doesn’t have an index or ranking system, which means you can’t search for sites like you would with Google or other search engines. The only way to reach sites on the dark web is to type them directly into your browser. The dark web might be hidden to most web browsers, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to reach. In fact, getting to the dark web isn’t even all the difficult. You just have to download a browser built to access this part of the web, most likely the Tor browser. The dark web? That’s a different matter. You might use the dark web if you live in a country in which the government censors or spies on online activity. By using the Tor browser to access the dark web, you can visit sites that your government might prefer you not.

You probably visit the deep web regularly already. If you checked the balance in your online checking account or studied your most recent credit card statement online, you’ve been on the deep web. You use the deep web, too, when you sign into Netflix, Amazon Prime, or any other streaming video service to watch movies.

Visiting the dark web, though, is different than accessing the deep web. In fact, poking around on the dark web is where people can get themselves into trouble. Unlike the deep web, which contains important and useful information, the dark web is riddled with illegal and unconscionable activity. For more perspective, dive into our breakdown of the deep web vs. the dark web, including the purpose of each and how they differ from one another. You’ll also find best practices for deep web and dark web browsing, as well as answers to frequently asked questions about surfing deep and dark web websites. Here are a few tips and tools to help stay safe when using Tor and other browsers. There’s a lot more to consider, but this should give you an idea of some of the issues — good and bad — to consider.And if you are visiting deep web sites such as your online credit card portal, use a virtual private network, or VPN. A VPN hides your IP address from snoops and also encrypts your information while online. This keeps government bodies, advertisers and hackers from reading the messages you send and websites you visit while online. Hackers and others, then, won’t be able to decipher your password when you log into your online bank account.

Just be careful when you’re on the dark web. This section of the internet is home to illegal drugs, illegal firearms sales and child pornography. It’s also a place for hackers o sell the personal and financial information of victims, such as their Social Security numbers and credit card numbers. Don’t be tempted to do anything illegal here. It could come back to haunt you.Some medical professionals even offer advice on sensitive health issues through dark web sites. This gives people the chance to ask questions about potentially embarrassing health issues – such as drug addiction – and feel comfortable that no one will be spying on their messages.

You can find dark web search engines, with one of the most popular being the Uncensored Hidden Wiki. Just be careful: Many of these search engines might include websites that deal in illegal activity.

Those using the dark web disconnect from the public servers used for everyday online browsing and connect to a dark web browser that provides increased privacy and security.And, yes, the dark web offers anonymous browsing not available on the deep web or surface web, but there are significant threats you might encounter as you browse. Hackers use the dark web for illegal activities that could implicate you and expose your information if you stumble across the wrong site.The deep web works by requiring you to have a specific password or link that will give you access to the private site you’re trying to enter. This way, prying eyes will run into trouble trying to access your personal information.

With the help of the Tor Project and other similar dark web browsers, people can surf the dark web and communicate with others without having their IP address, search history, cache, or cookies tracked. These are unique search engines designed specifically for accessing the dark web. And contrary to what you may think, the dark web offers several sites that aren’t connected with illegal activity.What’s the difference between the deep web vs. the dark web? Turn to this overview to learn how they both work and for tips for those surfing the deep web and dark web.

You might use the dark web if you are a dissident and are trying to communicate with others without your government tracking your message. Maybe you’re a journalist and you are communicating with sources who want to keep their identities private. The dark web can help.

Scott Dueweke the president and founder of Zebryx Consulting states that Russian electronic currency such as WebMoney and Perfect Money are behind the majority of the illegal actions. In April 2015, Flashpoint received a 5 million dollar investment to help their clients gather intelligence from the deep and dark web. There are numerous carding forums, PayPal and Bitcoin trading websites as well as fraud and counterfeiting services. Many such sites are scams themselves. Phishing via cloned websites and other scam sites are numerous, with darknet markets often advertised with fraudulent URLs.Examination of price differences in dark web markets versus prices in real life or over the World Wide Web have been attempted as well as studies in the quality of goods received over the dark web. One such study was performed on Evolution, one of the most popular crypto-markets active from January 2013 to March 2015. Although it found the digital information, such as concealment methods and shipping country, ”seems accurate”, the study uncovered issues with the quality of illegal drugs sold in Evolution, stating that, ”the illicit drugs purity is found to be different from the information indicated on their respective listings.” Less is known about consumer motivations for accessing these marketplaces and factors associated with their use.

The dark web became a forum for terrorist propaganda, guiding information, and most importantly, funding. With the introduction of Bitcoin, an anonymous transactions were created which allowed for anonymous donations and funding. By accepting Bitcoin, terrorists were now able to fund money to purchase weaponry. In 2018, an individual named Ahmed Sarsur was charged for attempting to purchase explosives and hire snipers to aid Syrian terrorists, as well as attempting to provide them financial support, all through the dark web.There are reports of crowdfunded assassinations and hitmen for hire; however, these are believed to be exclusively scams. The creator of Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht, was arrested by Homeland Security investigations (HSI) for his site and allegedly hiring a hitman to kill six people, although the charges were later dropped. There is an urban legend that one can find live murder on the dark web. The term ”Red Room” has been coined based on the Japanese animation and urban legend of the same name; however, the evidence points toward all reported instances being hoaxes.

The dark web is also used in certain extortion-related processes. Indeed, it is common to observe data from ransomware attacks on several dark web sites (data sales sites, public data repository sites)Terrorist organizations took to the internet as early as the 1990s; however, the birth of the dark web attracted these organizations due to the anonymity, lack of regulation, social interaction, and easy accessibility. These groups have been taking advantage of the chat platforms within the dark web to inspire terrorist attacks. Groups have even posted ”How To” guides, teaching people how to become and hide their identities as terrorists.

On June 25, 2015, the indie game Sad Satan was reviewed by YouTubers Obscure Horror Corner which they claimed to have found via the dark web. Various inconsistencies in the channel’s reporting cast doubt on the reported version of events. There are several websites which analyze and monitor the deep web and dark web for threat intelligence.The darknets which constitute the dark web include small, friend-to-friend peer-to-peer networks, as well as large, popular networks such as Tor, Freenet, I2P, and Riffle operated by public organizations and individuals. Users of the dark web refer to the regular web as Clearnet due to its unencrypted nature. The Tor dark web or onionland uses the traffic anonymization technique of onion routing under the network’s top-level domain suffix .onion. Specialist Clearweb news sites such as DeepDotWeb and All Things Vice provide news coverage and practical information about dark web sites and services; however, DeepDotWeb was shut down by authorities in 2019. The Hidden Wiki and its mirrors and forks hold some of the largest directories of content at any given time. Traditional media and news channels such as ABC News have also featured articles examining the darknet. As of December 2020, the number of active Tor sites in .onion was estimated at 76,300 (containing a lot of copies). Of these, 18 000 would have original content.Within the dark web, there exists emerging social media platforms similar to those on the World Wide Web, this is known as the Dark Web Social Network (DWSN). The DWSN works a like a regular social networking site where members can have customizable pages, have friends, like posts, and blog in forums. Facebook and other traditional social media platforms have begun to make dark-web versions of their websites to address problems associated with the traditional platforms and to continue their service in all areas of the World Wide Web. Unlike Facebook, the privacy policy of the DWSN requires that members are to reveal absolutely no personal information and remain anonymous.When investigating online suspects, police typically use the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the individual; however, due to Tor browsers creating anonymity, this becomes an impossible tactic. As a result, law enforcement has employed many other tactics in order to identify and arrest those engaging in illegal activity on the dark web. OSINT, or Open Source Intelligence, are data collection tools that legally collect information from public sources. OSINT tools can be dark web specific to help officers find bits of information that would lead them to gaining more knowledge about interactions going on in the dark web.The dark web, also known as darknet websites, are accessible only through networks such as Tor (”The Onion Routing” project) that are created specifically for the dark web. Tor browser and Tor-accessible sites are widely used among the darknet users and can be identified by the domain ”.onion”. Tor browsers create encrypted entry points and pathways for the user, allowing their dark web searches and actions to be anonymous.The dark web is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets: overlay networks that use the Internet but require specific software, configurations, or authorization to access. Through the dark web, private computer networks can communicate and conduct business anonymously without divulging identifying information, such as a user’s location. The dark web forms a small part of the deep web, the part of the Web not indexed by web search engines, although sometimes the term deep web is mistakenly used to refer specifically to the dark web.

There have been arguments that the dark web promotes civil liberties, like ”free speech, privacy, anonymity”. Some prosecutors and government agencies are concerned that it is a haven for criminal activity. The deep and dark web are applications of integral internet features to provide privacy and anonymity. Policing involves targeting specific activities of the private web deemed illegal or subject to internet censorship.In July 2017, Roger Dingledine, one of the three founders of the Tor Project, said that Facebook is the biggest hidden service. The dark web comprises only 3% of the traffic in the Tor network.

A December 2014 study by Gareth Owen from the University of Portsmouth found that the most commonly hosted type of content on Tor was child pornography, followed by black markets, while the individual sites with the highest traffic were dedicated to botnet operations (see attached metric). Many whistleblowing sites maintain a presence as well as political discussion forums. Sites associated with Bitcoin, fraud-related services, and mail order services are some of the most prolific.In 2015 it was announced that Interpol now offers a dedicated dark web training program featuring technical information on Tor, cybersecurity and simulated darknet market takedowns. In October 2013 the UK’s National Crime Agency and GCHQ announced the formation of a ”Joint Operations Cell” to focus on cybercrime. In November 2015 this team would be tasked with tackling child exploitation on the dark web as well as other cybercrime. In March 2017 the Congressional Research Service released an extensive report on the dark web, noting the changing dynamic of how information is accessed and presented on it; characterized by the unknown, it is of increasing interest to researchers, law enforcement, and policymakers. In August 2017, according to reportage, cybersecurity firms which specialize in monitoring and researching the dark web on behalf of banks and retailers routinely share their findings with the FBI and with other law enforcement agencies ”when possible and necessary” regarding illegal content. The Russian-speaking underground offering a crime-as-a-service model is regarded as being particularly robust.

The dark web has often been confused with the deep web, the parts of the web not indexed (searchable) by search engines. The term dark web first emerged in 2009; however, it is unknown when the actual dark web first emerged. Many internet users only use the surface web, data that can be accessed by a typical web browser. The dark web forms a small part of the deep web, but requires custom software in order to access its content. This confusion dates back to at least 2009. Since then, especially in reporting on Silk Road, the two terms have often been conflated, despite recommendations that they should be distinguished.Botnets are often structured with their command-and-control servers based on a censorship-resistant hidden service, creating a large amount of bot-related traffic. Many journalists, alternative news organizations, educators, and researchers are influential in their writing and speaking of the darknet, and making its use clear to the general public. Media coverage typically reports on the dark web in two ways; detailing the power and freedom of speech the dark web allows people to express, or more commonly reaffirms the illegality and fear of its contents, such as computer hackers. Many headlines tie the dark web to child pornography with headlines such as, ”N.J. man charged with surfing ’Dark Web’ to collect nearly 3K images of child porn”, along with other illegal activities where news outlets describe it as ”a hub for black markets that sell or distribute drugs”. Identities and locations of darknet users stay anonymous and cannot be tracked due to the layered encryption system. The darknet encryption technology routes users’ data through a large number of intermediate servers, which protects the users’ identity and guarantees anonymity. The transmitted information can be decrypted only by a subsequent node in the scheme, which leads to the exit node. The complicated system makes it almost impossible to reproduce the node path and decrypt the information layer by layer. Due to the high level of encryption, websites are not able to track geolocation and IP of their users, and users are not able to get this information about the host. Thus, communication between darknet users is highly encrypted allowing users to talk, blog, and share files confidentially.

A February 2016 study from researchers at King’s College London gives the following breakdown of content by an alternative category set, highlighting the illicit use of .onion services.

Due to its relevance in the digital world, Bitcoin has become a popular product for users to scam companies with. Cybercriminal groups such as DDOS”4″ have led to over 140 cyberattacks on companies since the emergence of Bitcoins in 2014. These attacks have led to the formation of other cybercriminal groups as well as Cyber Extortion.Kampanjen Webshot – web page screenshots finns i kategorin Elektronik.

The deep web is much more widely applicable to internet users than the dark web. Intranets used by companies or schools and paid or free online services are all part of the deep web. In other words, you’re on the deep web when you’re going through your emails, checking your balance on the bank account page, or managing your Dropbox folders.

The dark web, or the darknet, is a small subset of the deep web. It’s a hidden collective of sites that you could only access through a special browser. Since all activity on the dark web is anonymous by default, it is definitely where the murkiest transactions on the internet take place. A study by researchers at King’s College London that examined the contents of over 2,700 darknet sites found that approximately 60% of them hosted illicit content. With that said, legitimate websites also exist on the dark web.The dark web hosts all kinds of illegal activities, many of which are the buying and selling of firearms, drugs, counterfeit money, fake passports, and stolen accounts.

While the original aim of the dark web was to facilitate secret communication, the network’s anonymous nature also encouraged illegal activity. Helped by the launch of Bitcoin in 2009, the dark web quickly became a platform for criminals to source and deliver illegal items.But the dark web isn’t only associated with illegal activity. Whistleblowers, journalists, and activists frequently log on to the dark web in order to stay anonymous and spread the results of their research. WikiLeaks, for example, hosts a site on the dark web. Even Facebook, DuckDuckGo, and ExpressVPN have websites on the dark web.The deep web is the part of the internet you can’t access through search engines like Google and Bing. Also referred to as “non-indexed” content, it’s any content hidden behind some kind of access control such as a log-in or code word. Ever wonder how big the deep web is? It contains 7,500 terabytes of information, compared to only 19 terabytes of information in the “surface” web. To look at it in a different way, it makes up between 90% and 95% of the internet.

The Tor browser, used to access darknets, was designed to facilitate anonymous message sharing among U.S. spies spread across the world. Tor’s development began in the ’90s, and it was released as publicly available software in the early 2000s.Much like the internet itself, the dark web is the product of the U.S. government attempting to build communication networks for military and self-defense purposes.

While Tor is the most popular way of accessing dark nets, the Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is another decentralized anonymizing project that deploys similar principles to Tor. Effectively a self-contained internet, I2P allows users to send emails, write blogs, and chat anonymously much like they would on the regular web.Regular internet browsers like Google Chrome or Safari should suffice for browsing the deep web. But Tor is the best option for both the deep web and the dark web as it instantly deletes cookies, browsing history, and other data for you. No matter what browsers you choose to use, the best practice is to always use a VPN, which gives you an additional layer of privacy and security.To access the dark web, you’ll need special search engines like Candle, Not Evil, and SearX, all of which require a specialized browser like Tor to work. On the dark web, neither users nor web administrators reveal themselves to each other, including their identity or their location. Hence, it’s very hard to shut down dark web servers or place geo-restrictions on users. Let’s put some numbers into perspective. The deep web is approximately 400 to 500 times greater than the surface web. The dark web is only a small fraction of the deep web—constituting only 0.01% of it, and 5% of the total internet. As we mentioned at the start of this article, the dark web and the deep web are often conflated. The easiest way to understand the difference is that not all deep web is the dark web but all dark web is the deep web.All sites on the dark web end with “.onion,” as opposed to “.com” or “.org” commonly seen on the surface web. That’s a deliberate ploy so that only browsers with specific proxies are allowed to access those sites. It’s also very difficult to remember the URLs of sites on the dark web, which is another way to maintain their anonymity.

Yes, the police can still track you on the dark web if they need to, although it’s extremely hard to do so. The Tor browser you use to access the dark web can mask your identity and location. The average user won’t be able to identify you on the dark web, but the authorities can still track you down with high-level technologies. That is, if you give them a good enough reason to. The deep web is generally safe and secure to use; owners of private websites or services are responsible for maintaining their security. That said, cybercriminals increasingly target this part of the internet because of the lucrative personal data lying within. That’s why basic online hygiene has become critical to protecting yourself online. Read on to find out how to access the deep web safely. The dark web and the deep web are often used interchangeably, but they’re two distinct concepts. In short, the major difference between them is that the deep web contains internet content that you can’t find through search engines, while the dark web is a hidden network that requires a special browser to access.

Like other parts of the internet, the dark web has scams and third parties trying to steal your data through phishing. Here are some ways to keep yourself safe when navigating it.On the other hand, the dark web welcomes more distinct groups of users, like criminals, whistleblowers, or political dissidents, who leverage off the anonymity the dark web provides. With that said, any regular internet user can visit the dark web, which is not illegal to use.

Accessing the deep web doesn’t require a special browser or unique protocols. The dark web, however, can only be accessed through the Tor browser. The encrypted nature of the browser means everyone trying to access the dark web remains anonymous by default. What’s more, URLs in the dark web are starkly different from regular web addresses.

ExpressVPN is your best bet for browsing the dark web. It gives you an additional layer of encryption and anonymity—backed by a strict no-log policy. Try it yourself and get a full refund within 30 days if you’re not satisfied.

It’s generally safe if you are just browsing on the dark web. The danger comes in when you download illegal materials which contain viruses or malware, like trojans, worms, or keyloggers.The deep web is where you constantly supply your login credentials to access a range of online services, like email, e-banking, and social media. It also attracts a lot of attention from attackers who want to get a hold of your personal data by running all kinds of scams behind phishing emails, Linkedin messages, or fake login prompts. The deep web has a much broader scope than the dark web. It covers a range of content that is not accessible by web search engines like Google, Safari, or DuckDuckGo. It’s anything that is password-protected, including emails, chat conversations, and private posts of social media accounts. The dark web, which is a subset of the deep web, is much narrower in scope. The risks of the dark web come when you aren’t careful with what you access. You can fall prey to scams and give away your personal data. Worse, you can stumble on illegal activity or disturbing content.

In fact, it can be argued that the closure of Silk Road and subsequent arrest and conviction of Ross Ulbricht, its founder, only heightened interest in darknets and their illegal wares. Sociologist Isak Ladegaard, who built an algorithm to monitor sales data on Silk Road-type marketplaces, declared that all the media coverage boosted people’s awareness of the existence of the dark web. As a result, trading actually went up.

If a data breach compromises your personal information, you can stay one step ahead of the scammers by taking steps to safeguard your data. While the Dark Web can be used for both legitimate and illegal activity, it’s mainly used as a place for hackers to sell or trade leaked personal information and forged documents — which can sell for as little as $2. Many services offer free Dark Web scans to check if your personal information has been leaked in a recent data breach. However, it’s important to choose a reputable company when running a free scan — as some services may collect and sell any contact information that you provide. The United States experiences more data breaches than any other country, impacting over 200 million people a year [*]. As most of us are online daily, there’s a high chance that some of your personal information is already circulating on the Dark Web. These dedicated digital security providers monitor your credit report, bank accounts, SSNs, and more. You’ll get alerts if your sensitive data is detected on the Dark Web — along with support to improve your security and recover from fraud.

If you notice any suspicious activity on your statements or credit report, contact the fraud department at your financial institution immediately.
