According to Wikipedia (so you know it has to be right): The dark web is the World Wide Web content that exists on darknets: overlay networks that use the Internet but require specific software, configurations, or authorization to access. *NM*

In a nutshell, it's the very private part of the internet. The server addresses are not accessible by the public. At least that is my basic understanding. *NM*

Who uses that? Government spy networks? *NM*
- Criminal enterprises, conspiracy types, hackers, buyers of hacked info, extortion by capturing a site or system of a company or organization and blocking it behind an almost impossible access code until or unless the owner of the system pays the ransom, etc. *NM*
  - According to Google (as stated above, must be correct, right?🤨) you are describing the "deep web", which is more nefarious than the "dark web". *NM*

I have been told by Norton, that my email address has been found on the dark web. Is this a problem? They want to sell me more security. *NM*
