The dark web is a world of hidden dangers, one of which is identity theft and credit fraud. It is also the home of many illicit transactions such as credit card fraud, address theft, and even drug transactions and money laundering. Because many of these activities take place online and are faceless, it is very difficult to trace the transactions back to their source, much less hold those accountable who run these operations from within the safety of a computer. This is why it is so important that all credit and financial information held online be kept secure at all times, and that includes credit card information.
