ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the evolution and trends in the dark net and then gives some mitigation. The main pillars that have built up the dark web are security and privacy. The dark web has seen a new breed of crime. New patterns are coming up, and they have proven that the dark web is becoming an innovation hub for cybercriminals. The dark web now acts as an economy of some sort. There are the hackers to steal data, money launderers to cleanse dirty money, and lastly the markets to sell or buy stolen data. The sale of stolen data on the dark web has prompted organizations to have to incur the expense of paying third parties to monitor the dark web for listings of their data. The tracking of every activity carried out by a suspect makes it easy for law enforcement agencies to mitigate threats on the dark web.
