What is Dark Web?

Food delivery site Zomato was subject to a data breach on May 18, 2017. Like Silk Road that marketed illegal drugs through the Dark Web, entities which want to operate out of the arms of the law seek refuge in the Dark Web. While incognito mode disables browsing history and web cache, the Dark Web is shielded by specialised software such as Tor. Since the real word money trail carries the danger of exposure, Dark Web operators transact in virtual currencies, the most popular being Bitcoins. Unless you fear prosecution by an authoritarian regime or a government agency for doing something you think legitimate, the Dark Web should be a no-go area.
