The Darknet
Today I read an article about the darknet, the seedy underbelly of the internet. The darknet is illegal for many reasons.
A vendor promises that those seeking U.S. citizenship can purchase a package for $1,500, to include a fake U.S. passport, drivers license, birth certificate, and Social Security number that would all be delivered by free express shipping. That is just crazy. All you have to do is give your info and you could have a free ticket into the U.S.!
Other vendors promise to give you others' credit card info! That's even worse. You could use people's money without them even knowing it was you. I think this is not worth it, even if you don't account for the ethical reasons. You could get caught, and it's dishonest and will make you feel guilty inside.
I think the darknet is just a collection of hackers and criminals that collaborated to make a secret black market.
