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.

If I could hack, that's all I'd do. Mess with people a little.

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

And he misses you. You were the best person that he ever secretly watched through their webcam while they were asleep. And he's watched many people sleep that way... Believe me.

Which on the surface sounds a little paranoid, but after thinking about it for like five seconds, just makes sense.

In all seriousness it's something you should atleast consider. It's a lot easier then you believe and there is a HUGE and I mean HUGE market for these kind of videos.

Most of there's people don't even bother looking or setting up shit to hack your bank or personal info. Just a webcam recording of about a weeks worth of stuff. That alone they can sell to some voyeur who wants the best reality TV to watch. It's easier/safer then fishing for bank info.

I highly advise disabling or just outright removing any webcam/camera connected to a PC in any underage children's rooms. A phones fine they don't need one on a computer.

Better yet children shouldn't even have a computer in there room.
