What makes the dark web so dark? In this talk, we’ll show you how the dark web works, explore extortion sites where criminal gangs publish stolen data, and show you screenshots of darknet markets where criminals peddle hacking tools, stolen personal info and more. Learn about “onion routing,” and see how criminals set up Tor and use it to browse the myriad of offerings. We’ll also show you how much your data is currently worth on the black market, with brand new screenshots of the current stolen goods. Finally, we’ll discuss how the current underground trends relate to the latest threats, and how to protect yourself in the coming year.
