Abstract

Subject The 'Dark Web'. Significance The 'Dark Web' has grown in prominence over the last few years. The term is associated with a shadowy, anonymous underworld online where criminals interact to engage in fraud, drug sales, child pornography trading, and weapons sales. It is also where political activists, dissidents, whistleblowers, police, spies and many others operate. While media depictions of cybercrime are often over-hyped, there is some accuracy in these presentations as they strike at the core of a problematic phenomenon: Tor-based websites hosting criminal services. Impacts Governments will have to consider the ramifications to personal privacy if police are able to fully crack Tor protocols. Law enforcement agencies attempts to access these communities create distinct legal challenges regarding evidence collection. Businesses will incur reputational damage if they do not appear proactive in dealing with cyber breaches.
