What I find really scary in this article is the existence of the "darknet" that contains pedophile website and also apparently an assassination service. This creates many questions: how many people get access to this hidden network? who created it? Had the authorities knowledge of its existence?
While this could give topic for science fiction books, I also makes me feel insecure.
Thanks for the pointer, I'll have a look at Tor software. But I find it scary the existence of a website offering highly illegal services where only a selected few can access.
What's so scary about it? It's no different than meeting someone in a park, or the basement of a bar, to do the exact same things. Places where "highly illegal" services are offered where only a select few can access have been around for ages. It's just much more convenient to do it on the internet.
