Understanding the dark web has been a complex task for many people.
There are a lot of cautions against visiting the dark web without knowing about how it works first.
As such, the better part of the masses remains ignorant about what the dark web is, and what goes on there.
In as much as many would love to understand the dark web and all its dynamics, the talk about it in various social circles often has people dead scared of trying to access it.
If you are one of those who has been wondering what the dark web entails for ages, a new show called "DarkCyber" could be the solution for you.
It is a weekly video series dedicated to exploring the dark web in depth and answering the fundamental questions in the minds of average internet users.
What's DarkCyber About?
Writer and web search expert Stephen E. Arnold has launched a weekly online show called the DarkCyber.
The show seeks to explore the dark web and provide a better understanding of what it is to the average everyday internet user.
There is a lot that goes on behind the veils of the dark web. From illegal drug markets and cybercrime networks to knock off gear and commodity items, you can find virtually anything.
Contrary to popular belief that the dark web is only used for negative things, there are some positive uses for the dark web.
For instance, people such as journalists, whistleblowers and dissenting voices in restrictive regimes find the dark web very resourceful when they need to publish material anonymously.
Arnold, through the DarkCyber show, seeks to help viewers understand these aspects of the dark web.
He will help separate the good and the bad of the darknet ecosystem.
The show will bring you the latest and juicy stories as far as the dark web is concerned. From drug trafficking stories and the latest malware news, you will get it all.
You might wonder, "why would I want stories from the dark web?" The effects of the dealings in the dark web are more far-reaching than you might have ever imagined.
For example, the dark web is known to be the source of malware and data scams. These can affect anyone with a device connected to the internet.
Those ignorant about such happenings are bound to bear the brunt of malicious occurrences. Being in the know can go a long way in keeping you and your devices safe.

A Well-Timed Show (Writer's Opinion)
A show such as Arnold's DarkCyber has been long overdue. A lot of individuals and businesses have suffered under the hands of dark web scammers and cybercriminals.
Many of them could have possibly averted the damage if they had sufficient knowledge about the dark web and its dynamics.
Dark web education and awareness are more crucial now more than before. It is certain that the dark web isn't going anywhere, and neither are the criminals that hide behind it.
Law enforcement agencies have always put forward their time and resources to combat darknet crime, but the criminals continue reinventing themselves.
A spotlight should also be shown on the positive side of the dark web.
The majority of the talks going around about the dark web focus on the negative things, which is often justified given the level of crime there.
However, I personally think the crime rate would reduce if more awareness was created regarding the positive influences that the dark web could be used for.
