Here I’m going to talk about security in the surface and dark web. You might think that you are safe in the web but in reality you are vulnerable to all types of danger. Your computer can get a virus, other people can see your exact location, you can get scammed or even worse, you can get your account stolen. Lets go step by step on what safety precautions you should take to avoid all the things mentioned above. To avoid any type of malware you should definitely invest your money in a good anti virus. This will help you find any suspicious files that can harm your computer and get rid of them easily. To avoid getting your account stolen just make sure that the password you use is hard to learn and don,t just put your account information anywhere. You might get emails saying that there is something wrong with your account and you must put your information again. That is how people trick you, by creating a similar web page so you would get confused and end up sending them all your info. So next time you receive one of those emails just double check. This one is more for the deep/dark web users, to be completely untraceable you must use the Tor browser and a VPN. Tor is a special browser that uses the onion engine. this means that instead of your URL finishing in “.com” it would finish in “.onion”. What this does is that it bounces your IP address every few minutes so you can surf the deep web untraceable. Even though this works like a charm you should still use a VPN to be more secure. A VPN is a virtual private network that lets you navigate the internet from different locations. What it does is simply changes your location.

My Friend an I interviewed a few people who have surfed the dark web and here are the answers.
