What is this dark web I keep hearing about?

Nowadays, the digital equivalent of the wild west is called the Dark Web. Unavailable to the casual internet user, the Dark Web houses a treasure trove of stolen information, offering it for sale and trade on chat groups and online forums. People buy, sell and trade collections of Personal Information, Credit Cards, health records, and a wealth of other information with impunity. There’s no easy way for law enforcement to police the Dark Web, let alone capture the bad guys.
