What I find really scary in this article is the existence of the "darknet" that contains pedophile website and also apparently an assassination service. This creates many questions: how many people get access to this hidden network? who created it? Had the authorities knowledge of its existence?
While this could give topic for science fiction books, I also makes me feel insecure.
- lambada 15y agoThe ability to securely and anonymously host websites is a standard feature of the freely available, open source Tor software. Tor was originally funded by the EFF and the US Navy. So yes, the authorities most definitely know of its existence.
- S4M 15y agoThanks for the pointer, I'll have a look at Tor software. But I find it scary the existence of a website offering highly illegal services where only a selected few can access.
- LancerSykera 15y agoWhat's so scary about it? It's no different than meeting someone in a park, or the basement of a bar, to do the exact same things. Places where "highly illegal" services are offered where only a select few can access have been around for ages. It's just much more convenient to do it on the internet.
