There’s the internet we’re all familiar with, the one that you use on a day-to-day basis for browsing web pages, checking your email, and streaming video. Then there’s the dark web. It’s unregulated, hard to access, and is used mostly by privacy aficionados (for reasons both good and bad)! 

Navigating the dark web safely requires specialist software, but this leaves a huge footprint in your internet traffic logs that tell your ISP you’re accessing the dark web. If you’re interested in keeping your activity truly private, investing in a dark web VPN will keep your ISP in the dark and give you access to some extra security features that make browsing the dark web less of a scary experience. Let’s check out some of the VPNs I’d recommend if you want to browse the dark web.

NordStellar has announced the release of a new Dark Web Monitoring tool to comb cybercrime communities for exposed credentials, vulnerabilities and more.

The “Dark Web” is where cybercriminals tend to lurk after a successful cyberattack, so monitoring this dingy section of the internet for emails, passwords and other sensitive data related to your organization can help keep it safe.

The health board is currently working with agencies like Police Scotland, the National Cyber Security Centre, and the Scottish Government to examine the extent of the breach, which is actively under criminal investigation.

Officers arrested Garg at his flat in Lewisham, London in November 2022 as part of a coordinated operation with international partners, at a time when the site was open on his laptop with Garg logged into his moderator account.

Members accessed The Annex using Tor, a dark web browser which is estimated to have 1.4 million global users.

A NHS junior doctor has been jailed for his role in running a dark web chat site that hosted indecent images of children.

Kabir Garg, 33, of Station Road, Lewisham, held an account on a dark website which allows users to share links to indecent images of children and provides message boards to discuss them.

“Moderators” of the site actively encourage users to interact, rewarding them with additional access and benefits.

Today, at Woolwich Crown Court, Garg was jailed for six years.

Between May 2021 and November 2022, Garg, who worked as a psychiatrist for the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust, facilitated the sexual exploitation of children by acting as a moderator of the site.
