Deals on drugs, weapons and stolen data - Black Friday comes to the dark web
The black market in stolen goods, illegal drugs and weapons that exists on the dark web is not immune to the forces of capitalism, despite the sale of these illegal items and numerous cyber crime violations the criminal gangs that control this side of the web have incorporated the black friday and cyber monday sales to their networks. The limited time offers included 20% off of certain weapons and drugs."Once again we can see how professional the cybercriminal underworld is in their operations," said James Chappell, chief technology officer and co-founder of Digital Shadows.
I believe that cyber-criminality is increasing and things like this on the dark web encourage more behaviour like this, however the dark web isnt reported on too often and so doesnt and quite rightly receive enough attention.
