Dark Web Monitoring
The 2024 Global Threat Report by Crowdstrike Falcon reveals that an astonishing 75% of security breaches and intrusions occurred without the use of malware. Instead, attackers gained access to systems by utilizing stolen credentials purchased from the deep and dark web. This highlights the adage that logging in is often easier than hacking in.

What Is The Dark Web?
The dark web represents a concealed part of the internet that is not accessible through standard search engines found on the surface web. To navigate this hidden realm, users must utilize a specialized anonymous browser known as Tor. Tor offers enhanced privacy features, making it particularly appealing to individuals such as threat actors, cybercriminals, hackers, and government agents who seek to maintain their anonymity.
Open Web vs. Dark Web vs. Deep Web: What’s the Difference?
Open Web
The Open Web, often referred to as the surface web, represents the most easily accessible segment of the internet, which can be effortlessly explored using well-known search engines such as Firefox, Google, Bing, and Yahoo. This layer includes publicly available domains like websites, social media networks, news outlets, and e-commerce platforms—content that is reachable by anyone with internet access and a web browser.
Deep Web
The Deep Web represents a vast and concealed layer of the internet that is inaccessible to standard search engines. This area includes content that necessitates particular permissions, login information, or specialized tools for entry. Examples of this include websites secured by passwords, private databases, and subscription-only resources, all of which contribute to a larger, albeit less apparent, segment of the online world.
Dark Web
The Dark Web is a hidden segment of the Deep Web that requires specialized tools, like the Tor browser, for access. This area features anonymous websites, forums, and marketplaces that emphasize user privacy and confidentiality. It is important to recognize that, although the Dark Web can have legitimate uses, it is frequently linked to illegal activities, attracting individuals such as cybercriminals, hackers, and threat actors.
