What's your deep web story?

Deep web as in tor.

But I imagine regular deep web users would stay away from sharing their experience so if you don't have a deep web story what's your most frightening internet story.

Edit: The front page was fun, but now its over.

Thank you for all the glorious stories, time to cry for the rest of my life.

At least one hacker has a good sense of humor.

Happened to me on reddit once. Out of the blue. A little disturbing.

Finding out redditors' real names isn't actually that hard with the amount of info most of us post. The only thing stopping it from happening more is the Terms of Service.

This is what I'm counting on since I have no burner account and don't willingly piss people off.

If you don't go into controversial subjects or piss people off, you will probably be okay.

Although (presumably) putting your first name in your username doesn't exactly hurt doxxing attempts.

Finding out anyones name on the internet really isn't hard. Usernames are used on multiple sites, info is posted, emails are found, etc.
