The Dark Web - Websites in the Dark Web are intentionally hidden and can only be accessed through a special web browser such as the TOR (The Onion Router) browser - It is known to be a haven for illegal or illicit activities/transactions: drug dealing, gun/arms trading, buying identities, and insider trading to name a few - Uses Bitcoins as the currency
- 5. Deeper into the Dark Web The Onion Router browser This browser has multiple layers, hence the name onion, for security purposes. The different layers mask the IP addresses of those who are accessing the sites within the Dark Web. This makes tracing the users practically impossible Bitcoins - Digital currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto (an alias) in 2009 - There are no middlemen, such as bank institutions, which mean that the transaction fees are lower - The sender nor the receiver of the Bitcoin cant be traced which makes it the perfect currency for the Dark Web - The transactions are logged in a public ledger using the wallet IDs of the users, not their names
