What is the dark web?

 The dark web is part of the internet that isn't visible to search engines and requires the use of an anonymizing browser called Tor to be accessed. The dark web is a part of the internet that isn't indexed by search engines. You've no doubt heard talk of the “dark web” as a hotbed of criminal activity and it is. A 2019 study, conducted by Dr. Michael McGuires at the University of Surrey, shows that things have become worse. The number of dark web listings that could harm an enterprise has risen by 20% since 2016. Of all listings (excluding those selling drugs), 60% could potentially harm enterprises. But not everything is illegal, the dark web also has a legitimate side.
