The Dark Web is usually a neutral ground where hackers and other computer savants can gather to browse services and products that are either frowned upon or are downright illegal in the normal internet domain. A hacker from Anonymous recently launched an attack on the haven, with the targets being sites that are hosting child pornography.
The attack on the Dark Web took out over 10,000 websites, Newsweek reports, after someone from the notorious hacker group Anonymous targeted a specific web hosting service. The event occurred on Friday and the perpetrator left a message explaining why the attack occurred to anyone who went to visit any of the websites.
According to cyber security experts, the host in question has about one-fifth of the Dark Web’s websites under its umbrella, many of which are thought of to be involved in illicit or downright illegal activities. Newsweek actually managed to speak to the hacker who instigated the takedown, explaining that it was a matter of doing the right thing.
“I came across several child porn sites [on Freedom Hosting II’s server],” the hacker told the publication. “That’s why I decided to search for an exploit and hack them. I didn’t plan this attack, just had the right idea and took the opportunity after finding out what they were hosting.
“There are a few large communities centered around child pornography on the dark net and it is probably responsible for a large amount of traffic. However, the percentage of sites hosting child pornography is low, as most services distance themselves from it, can’t handle the traffic or generally don’t allow user uploaded content.”
Motherboard also spoke with the hacker who revealed that this was actually his first attempt at hacking. Considering what they managed to achieve with minimal experience in using digital weaponry, it might be safe to say that the world is looking at a considerably talented programmer. Either that or the Dark Web’s security measures aren’t anything to speak of.
