DATA PROTECTION IN DARK WEB LINKS
The use of dark web links has increased during
the COVID pandemic season. Novice users are also
embraced by the activities occurring in TOR
network. Its sense of security coupled with
privacy has been the choice for many. This
article focuses on the protection of personal
data from data thieves. Theft of personal data
has been a major concern around the globe for
many years. It has been through offline methods
at first. However, the reduced effectiveness in
tracking online thefts has prompted hackers to
go for anonymized methods. Dark web links are
the best choices for such activities. Since
relayed networks only allow the terminal node
data, it is hard to trace back to the principal
node from them. One of the simplest options to
keep your data safe is to trigger password
changes. Yes, by triggering it by yourself, you
are saving personal data itself. The ease of
remembering only one password enabled many users
to use it across platforms. Website logins are
also auto saved by certain users to enable hassle
free browsing. These are all wrong doings.
Despite repeated warning by security agencies,
net users still resort to simple passwords. The
use of same password across devices is also an
issue. An attempt made to hack a device can
affect other similar devices also. Cybersecurity
risks are on the rise in the present world. The
advent of Internet of Things has brought with in
a scope for wireless penetration of phishers.
CYBER SECURITY STRATEGIES FOR DARK WEB
LINKS Several acclaimed security researchers
have pointed out that the same password can
cause damage when hackers access data. Apart from
brute force techniques, new generation hackers
install remote scripts to attempt to key log
data. As per their findings, a good password may
not be the best in certain situations. Also, the
use of same password for banking websites and
online games is strictly a big no. Cyber
vandalism is on the rise in advanced
civilizations also. A hacker having access to
one device will easily spoof through the
defenses. This can wreak havoc if not discovered
early. A weak password is yet another major
issue. Simple combination of numbers and digits
are not enough at times. Most of the hackers are
talented and easily guess pass word combinations.
This approach often causes trauma to the user.
It offers significant damage for the entity and
thereby allows hackers a breakthrough with ease.
The situation worsens if you are on a network
with many hundred computers. Corporate secrets,
policies and administrative

information can be leaked. Further, installation
of scripts including ransomware can cause head
ache. The risk is not a simple one. The same data
that has been thieved will be made available in
dark web. Websites that sell fresh stolen data
are always looking for hackers with hacked data.
Dark web links offer a shade for criminals and
cyber activists to unveil the looted data.
