How Much Is Your Digital Life Worth on the Dark Net?

We often hear terms like “Dark Web” or “Dark Net,” and they might sound mysterious. Since these terms are often associated with crimes, it’s not surprising they have an unsettling aura. The Dark Net is not a difficult concept to understand. It’s a part of the Internet that can only be accessed with specialized Internet browsers and it’s not indexed by search engines. This means that you need to already know where to go, which makes it more challenging to access by regular users.

It should not be confused with the Deep Web, which accounts for most of the Internet. Much of the content of the Deep Web is not directly accessible because it requires credentials, and it’s not indexed by search engines either.

Any website that requires credentials, like science journals, for example, fall into the Deep Web category. Search engines do not index their content; you need access to visualize it.
