The darknet is used by a wide range of groups and individuals but is most well-known for its use by threat actors. The darknet is a haven for illicit activities many of which can pose a direct threat to organizations and individuals with stolen data being made available for purchase, access to illicit goods, and hacking activities as well as forums being used to discuss all manner of topics from extremism to CSAM to hacking practices and education.
