What is the Dark Web?
The dark web is a part of the internet that is not indexed by traditional search engines like Google or Bing. It exists on an encrypted network and requires specific software, such as Tor, to access. Unlike the surface web, which is accessible to anyone with an internet connection, the dark web is intentionally hidden and often used for anonymous communication.
Why Does the Dark Web Matter?
The dark web is often associated with illegal activities, such as the sale of stolen data, drugs, and weapons. Cybercriminals use the dark web to buy and sell sensitive information, including personal data, credit card numbers, and login credentials. This makes it a significant concern for businesses, as data breaches can lead to severe financial and reputational damage.
