The Battle for the Darknet

"On July 15th in Pittsburgh, David J. Hickton, a gray-haired U.S. attorney in a crisp dark suit, stepped out before an American flag to announce the feds' latest victory against online crime. "We have dismantled a cyber-hornet's nest of criminal hackers, which was believed by many to be impenetrable," he said."

The latest DNM media yapping, this time from Rolling Stone . I guess Carl Force Mark IV getting sentenced brought the journos out of the woodwork again. I also like that they illustrated the article with what looks like a David Dees 'shop of Trayvon Martin on an exploding Sony laptop.

Cyber-hornet. Bzzzzzzzzzzz.

Before I log into TOR, I always put on a black hoodie.

It's the first step in opsec.

Ummm.. hardly. If you go to deepdotweb.com and look on the right side - all of the markets on the list are up and running. David, you're a FOOL to even mention that. SMH.

Kinda cool picture they made at the top of the article, but there are way too many guns on it for the darknet.

I read this article, it illustrates information about the history/PRO's and CON's of the DarkNet. None of us here will find this interesting.
