My wife went to the Dark … Web

During this webinar, Eddy Willems will tell you the real story of how his wife found the Dark Web. Eddy will tell you more about what she expected to find over there and what she finally found as a normal pc user. Did she really buy that Glock 17M?  Is the Dark Web really so dangerous? Besides weapons, drugs, ID cards, credit cards and malware you can find much more.

However, the real value of your ID or credit card is maybe not what you expected.  What are the best market places? Who can you find on the Dark Web? What do malware writers have in common?

A detailed look inside the Underground Economy 4.0 will give everybody a better view of money laundering, money mules, dropzones and other attractive places on the Dark Side of the internet. What are police forces doing about this situation?

If you haven’t invested yet in Bitcoin or Monero you possibly will never do anymore after watching this lecture.
