dark web marketplaces

Dark web marketplaces are online platforms that operate on the dark web, a part of the internet not indexed by traditional search engines. These marketplaces facilitate the buying and selling of goods and services, often anonymously. While they host legal items, many transactions involve illegal goods such as drugs, weapons, and stolen data. Accessing these marketplaces typically requires special software, like Tor, which helps to mask users' identities. The anonymity of the dark web raises significant issues related to crime, regulation, and cybersecurity, making it a complex area of the digital landscape.
