At least 20 per cent of cybercrimes in India involve attackers using dark web, according to a report by cyber security firm Lisianthus.

The dark web is a platform on the internet that can be accessed using special tools. It is usually very difficult to trace the identity and location of a dark web user.

“At least 20 per cent of cybercrimes in India involve the usage of the dark web by online attackers,” the study conducted by Lisianthus Tech said.

The attackers used the dark web for cybercrimes like data breaches, hacking, phishing, ransomware, identity theft, sale and purchase of banned products like narcotics and weapons.

The study is based on a detailed analysis of several cases of cybercrime reported across the country, said Khushhal Kaushik, founder and CEO of Lisianthus Tech.

The study was conducted on a sampling basis over a period of two months which concluded last week, he said.
