Global black markets and the underground economy


There are a number of different types of digital black markets that fraudsters use. Much like in the real world, each type has their own prominent entity. The ways in which these are accessed usually differs, depending on the types or services or products offered. For example, in the physical black market world (e.g. illegal physical products such as guns, drugs or other non-digital services ) the majority of markets are hosted via the TOR network. This is a platform that makes users anonymous, allowing both clients and hosts to hide their locations, ensuring that their activities and identities cannot be tracked.
