What are the risks of accessing the dark web?;

[King Belieal]

I heard that the internet is stratified. We have the regular mainstream internet sphere which we are all using now. Also, I heard that there is something like an interesting under world called a dark web. And people say that it is risky to use your device to access the dark web..

I want to find out what harm accessing the dark web poses for your device. Has anyone accessed the dark web? Did it affect your device?

True, accessing a dark web could be a risky thing to do if a person don't know have proper knowledge about the dark web, i have also never accessed it and that is because there are some things to know before trying to inter to dark web.

True, we are currently like a ship traveling on the sea while the darkweb is in the depths of the sea so you need a submarine, so when you enter the darkweb you also need a VPN, TOR browser, you also need to secure your device such as a desktop, laptop or smartphone by closing it. all applications including chrome browser. Or you should use an empty device from the application. close the webcam, turn off location on your device etc. Darkweb risks such as botnets, phishing, illegal sites, you can also join hacker forums on the darkweb, not all hackers are bad.

Don't know how true this is, but I heard access the dark web alone could get your account or system hacked if not protected with the right VPN or security.

That's what I heard too. In fact, there was a time I downloaded Tor browser and tried to access some sites on the dark web. My phone immediately started malfunctioning the following day.

I heard that in the dark web, one can see child intimacy tapes and rape tapes unabated. And that most influential rich people visit the dark web to carry out different kinds of transactions.
