Stephen E Arnold’s DarkCyber is a weekly video news and analysis program about the Dark Web and lesser known Internet services.
This week’s program covers four stories.
The first story reports that French authorities conducted multi-city simultaneous raids to take down Dark Hand. The Dark Web contraband site was operated by a housewife. Authorities seized digital currency and user and customer data.
Second, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has published the results of a study of active shooters. The report is available without charge and provides details about the demographics of active shooters. One set of data provides a snapshot of where active shooters obtain their weapons. One of the surprising findings revealed in the report is that most active shooters are over the age of 35.
The third story explains how an individual can use the open source SpiderFoot software to scour the regular and Dark Web for personal information. Instead of paying for a commercial service, the SpiderFoot system can be used effectively by an individual with some programming skills.
The fourth story reveals that Iran’s blocking of Telegram, a popular encrypted messaging application, had unexpected consequences. Despite the disruption of some Iranian government processes, censorship of the Internet is gaining momentum in Iran and other countries.
