The Linux Help and Tutorial Thread

You missed the point completely.

Malware and viruses are installed by visiting the sites mentioned. The malware can be keyloggers to capture and send to their mothership your banking username and password or your credit card info you used at a web site. Or maybe they install a drone that when commanded does a DDOS attack against a company they disapprove of or they are blackmailing.

I forget not everyone reads security and network articles and keeps up with what goes on in the dark net. I suppose some do not even know what the dark net is.

Maybe wrong audience for this stuff I guess.
