Obtaining synthetic drugs through the dark site “Dark Web” or arresting a 16-year-old boy December 18 17:53
An interview with investigators revealed that a 16-year-old boy had been arrested by the Tokai Hokuriku Welfare Bureau Narcotics Department, concealing the LSD of synthetic drugs. The boy is believed to have obtained LSD through the dark web site “Dark Web”, which is highly anonymous on the Internet, and investigative authorities are increasingly wary of illegal drug distribution via these sites.
According to investigators, the 16-year-old boy in Nagano was arrested by the Tokai Hokuriku Welfare Bureau's Narcotics Enforcement Department and suspected of violating the Drug Enforcement Act as having concealed the LSD of synthetic drugs. .
LSD is a type of narcotic drug that has a strong hallucinatory effect, but this boy arrested in October uses a special software "Tor" that makes it difficult to identify the sender, and it is a secret that cannot be found on ordinary search sites It seems to have been obtained through the high site “Dark Web”.
In response to the investigation, the boy stated that he “did half of his interest”.
The “Dark Web” is thought to be a hotbed of crime, making it difficult to identify the person who wrote it, and investigators are increasingly wary of illegal drug distribution via these sites.
Black market spreading in cyberspace
Net space can be compared to an iceberg.
First, Google and Yahoo! It is a space where you can search and browse. Anyone can access it freely and is called "Surface Web".
Most of us are accessing this “surface web”, but in fact, these are only a small part of the net space and only the tip of the iceberg protruding from the sea surface.
Most of the space is accessible to a limited number of people. Compared to an iceberg, it is the lower part of the sea surface and is called “deep web” in the sense of “deep internet”.
This includes personal emails, corporate databases, private pages on Facebook and Twitter.
And the “Dark Web” used in this case.
It is located below the “Deep Web” and at the bottom of the iceberg, closest to the deep sea. It cannot be reached on a normal search site, and it cannot be accessed without dedicated software.
It is difficult to identify the sender, and on the “Dark Web”
▽ Illegal drugs such as stimulants and LSD ▽ Counterfeit passports ▽ Unauthorized credit card information is traded, and it is also a hotbed of crime.
In 2016, a 21-year-old man in Tsu City was arrested for writing a bank account on the dark web bulletin board, and also produced explosives with high killing power, and 3D printers. Former university students in Nagoya City who were sentenced to prison sentences for making handguns at the site were also able to obtain information on explosives and drugs on the dark web.
It is thought that such a “black market” has spread in cyberspace and the threshold of crime has been lowered.
Expert “Hidden in the Dark Web”
“The dark web has been said to be difficult to access without knowledge, but with a certain level of knowledge, it is easy for ordinary young people to access. “There is a widespread market where a wide variety of illegal drugs can be easily obtained.”
On top of that, there is a current situation in which people who want to obtain illegal things have been submerged in the “Dark Web” because the enforcement of the “Surface Web” that anyone can access has been strengthened. And you need to realize that you should not access illegal sites on the dark web. "
