7. Terrorism and Espionage
For years, extremist groups have been using the surface web to “provide information to fellow terrorists, to recruit and radicalize, to spread propaganda, to raise funds, and to coordinate actions and attacks” without it being completely illegal, because of freedom of speech and stuff. However, in late years these efforts have been redirected to a less heavily-monitored arena, especially after ISIS’ 2015 attacks on Paris. Not only is the Dark Web used for scheming and plotting, but it has also made available new methods of attack. In 2016, President Barack Obama urged security leaders of the world to watch out for the terrorists’ purchase of toxic isotopes that might later be spread-through-drone over civilian areas. That’s some very scary stuff.
Also, espionage of all kinds is carried out throughout the Dark Web. By this I mean military, counter-intelligence, industrial, nuclear, you name it, the Dark Web’s got it. It is no mystery why the big corporations and governments are frightened of this invisible instrument. Let’s se what else we have on this list of sickest disturbing things you can find on the Deep Web.
