Dark Web Identities Leaked

Prosecutors and government agencies realize that the dark web is a haven for criminal activity like terror funding, proliferation, arms smuggling and money laundering. Highly encrypted, the dark web is an attractive venue for individuals or organized groups seeking untraceable communication methods. And as these communication methods continue to evolve, new intelligence techniques must also be developed.
A renowned hacker active on the dark web leaked a large database containing the personal details of over 15,000 police officers from a European country. The database carried sensitive information like full names, email addresses, user IDs, passwords, and national ID numbers. It was then posted for sale on a popular dark web forum where similar situations occur frequently, and database information is often advertised with threats and a high price tag.

 

While essentially an anonymous platform, the dark web is not immune to innovative and creative methods that gather intelligence to find essential elements and insights of investigations.
