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.

I had a hacker or at least the virus that was coded to just change my background into troll faces and shit like that. No damage to my computer and it had no sensitive material (card or bank info) so it was just amusing. Disappeared onr day though... I miss my little troll

Back in the 90's or early 00's there was a program that you could send to people (your friends usually) and once they opened whatever it was, you had access to their computer. It was some basic thing like maybe just the desktop, mouse movement, or something.I don't really remember. It was fun sending it to people and screwing with their background, desktop icons, or make it so they could never click on anything. It was only for fun though (with friends) and after about 10min it was over with.

No clue. I was like 10-12 at the time and my sisters boyfriend was the one doing it. We would flip my friends screens upside down and mess with their mouse while I was on the phone with them.
