If you have a legitimate reason to explore the Tor network, experts from Norton and Surfshark recommend the following precautions:
: Many dark web links are "lure traps" designed to infect your system with malware , ransomware, or keyloggers. Unlike the surface web, these sites lack standard security protocols.
: These environments are often used for phishing. Entering any personal information or even just visiting a compromised site can lead to your data being harvested and sold on illicit marketplaces .
