The Dark Web is like Deadwood, South Dakota circa. 1850. No rules, no sheriff. Buy/sell literally anything, including people. Human trafficking, fraudulent (real!) passports, hacking services, stolen credit cards and, yes, hitmen. I don't want to say crimes on the dark web are impossible to investigate, but....it's close.

1. Did former employee steal data on his/her last day of work?
2. Has our company been breached?
3. Can you test our security?

In that order.

Do I trust Google? Unfortunately, I am 1 of only 11 people who have actually read their Terms and Conditions. I do not trust any company that reads/indexes my data and then sells my online buying habits for a buck. Their free apps are great, but nothing is free- is it?

I am not a big TV guy, but my son told me about Mr. Robot. It blew me away. It is, from a my view, the most technically accurate portrayal of (in)security I have seen. I love it when some of the tools we use are featured. Highly recommended.

It's good. However, I prefer dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda or some variation of that. Write zeros to the drive. THEN run a grep (find) for any non-zero character. No hits=verified wipe.
