The dark web is something you will probably never come into contact with. “Dark web,” or “deep web,” is a term used to describe the plethora of websites that do not pop up when you use a search engine. To find a nefarious dark website, you would need to already know the exact name of the site. You will never accidentally click on something that takes you to the dark web, but you may accidentally click on a scam. The best way to stay safe on the internet is to use your discretion. Just like you wouldn’t drive down a street and take a shortcut you don’t trust, don’t open an email or click on a link that doesn’t seem legitimate.
