The Dark Web is a hidden universe contained within the “Deep Web”- a sub-layer of the Internet that is hidden from conventional search engines.
Beneath the surface web, the public form of the internet you use daily to check email or read news articles, beneath the Deep Web - government's and scientific databases and networks, exists this concealed territory - "Dark Web."
Host to anonymous, password-protected sites, the Dark Web is where criminal marketplaces thrive in the advertising and selling of weapons, drugs, and trafficked persons.
Search engines like Google, BING and Yahoo only search .04% of the indexed or “surface” Internet. The other 99.96% of the Web consists of databases, private academic and government networks, and the Dark Web.
The Dark Web is estimated at 550 times larger than the surface Web and growing. Because you can operate anonymously, the Dark Web holds a wealth of stolen data and illegal activity.
