In the digital world, cyber crimes are increasing day by day. The most lethal weapon among these is the ‘Dark Web’ through which at least 20 percent of cyber crimes are being committed in India. This information was given in a report. Actually ‘Dark Web’ is a platform on the Internet which can be accessed using special devices. It is generally very difficult to trace the identity and location of dark web users. According to a report by cyber security company Lisianthus Tech, “At least 20 percent of cyber crimes in India were done by online attackers using the dark web.” ,

Attackers mostly use the ‘Dark Web’ to commit cyber crimes like data breach, hacking, phishing, ransomware, identity theft, sale and purchase of prohibited products like drugs and weapons.

Why is the dark web dangerous?

Actually, the Internet we use is called Surface Web or Open Web. This is only 4 percent of the total internet, the remaining 96 percent of the internet is dark web. The Dark Web is an encrypted part of the Internet that is not visible to the general public. It cannot be accessed from search engines like Google and Yahoo. Khushal Kaushik, Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Lisianthus Tech, said that the study is based on a detailed analysis of several cyber crime cases registered across the country.

He said that this study is based on information collected over a period of two months. Kaushik said that recently a person was arrested for growing ganja in a rented flat and selling it through the dark web. Last year, attackers also used the dark web for ransomware attacks on the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi.

Gurugram-based Lisianthus Tech does cyber security audit and security assessment work. According to the report, the use of the dark web has doubled in the last decade. To avoid falling victim to this, users should not allow any online notification asking for access to the app on their phones and other devices.
