SOMEBODY’S WATCHING EPISODE 4: Dive into the Dark

The dark web. You’ve heard the scary stories. Drug markets. Hackers for hire. Stolen passwords sold by the thousands. But here’s what most people don’t know. That same hidden network is also a lifeline for journalists, whistleblowers, and citizens trying to escape censorship. The New York Times and BBC run .onion sites. SecureDrop protects sources risking everything to tell the truth. One tool. Three completely different worlds. In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers — literally. How Tor bounces your traffic through three relays around the world, stripping away encryption like an onion. Why less than 1% of the internet is the dark web… and why that 1% matters more than almost anything else. We’ll talk about the criminals, ransomware gangs, initial access brokers, and markets like the Silk Road.
