CYBERCRIME IN DEEP WEB....

Stolen Accounts for Sale

The buying and selling of stolen accounts if most definitely not restricted to the Deep Web alone – this is a very common practice among all of the criminal underground forums that exist on the Clear Web, and something that we have written extensively about in the past in reports on the Russian and Chinese speaking undergrounds. Accounts for credit cards, banking, online auction sites and gaming are probably among the most common of such sites being sold.

Bitcoin and Money Laundry

By itself Bitcoin is a currency designed with anonymity in mind, and as a result it is frequently used when purchasing illegal goods and services (and of course legitimate goods as well [1]). But while on one hand all Bitcoin transactions are anonymous, as long as you do not link your wallet code to your real identity, on the other they are fully public. Due to the setup of the Bitcoin blockchain every transaction is fully public – and can be examined by investigators. So tracking money as it moves through the system is doable, albeit quite difficult.

Drugs

As we mentioned, it is common for just about every report on the Deep Web to talk about how freely available illegal drugs, and weapons, are. In this report we do not intend to go into major detail on this –as it has been covered by others. But we did want to briefly highlight that fact that even after the conviction of individuals like Ross Ulbricht – who was recently sentenced [1] to life with no chance of parole for running the infamous drugs forum “The Silk Road” – procuring drugs on the Deep Web is still relatively trivial.

Malware

In many ways, the Deep Web and malware are perfectly suited for each other, especially when it comes to hosting command-and-control (C&C) infrastructure. It is the nature of hidden services and sites like TOR and I2P to hide the location of servers using strong cryptography. This makes very difficult for forensic researchers to investigate using traditional means like examining a server’s IP address, checking registration details, and so on. In addition, using these sites and services isn’t particularly difficult. It is then not surprising to see a number of cybercriminals use TOR for C&C. We’ve seen the operators behind prevalent malware families use TOR for some parts of their setup. They simply bundle the legitimate TOR client with their installation package. Trend Micro first wrote about this trend back in 2013 when MEVADE malware caused a noticeable spike in TOR traffic when they switched to TOR-hidden services for C&C. Other malware families like ZBOT followed suit in 2014.

Leaked details Government, Law Enforcement and Celebrities

Among hacker culture (and also in online gaming culture to a degree) it is common for groups of likeminded individuals to come together in loosely formed, or close knit groups. Due to the nature of the activities carried out by such groups and individuals it is very common for rivalries and fallings out to occur between different competing groups. When this occurs it is common practice for one group to attempt to
“dox” the other. Doxing is the practice or researching and broadcasting personal identifiable information about an individual, which in the case of hackers is used to “unmask” a rival – essentially linking their real
