Patrick HyndsHOST
But because it's industrial scale, it's news in the geopolitical side.
Patrick HyndsHOST
The next story is just an X message article, and it reveals something that I didn't realize.
Patrick HyndsHOST
Someone I talked to just recently let me know that on the dark web, you can buy something that I didn't think was possible.
Patrick HyndsHOST
Let me set this up.

Now, a special two-part edition of 48 Hours.
speaker_0NARRATOR
I really hadn't even heard of the dark web before.

It's just scary.
speaker_0NARRATOR
It's a scary movie to me.
Jamie KreiserSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You go to the website and you send an email.
Jamie KreiserSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Who you want dead, who you want hurt, they'll tell you how much money it's going to cost and you pay for it.

Well, the dark web is everywhere.
Eileen OrmsbySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's all over the world.
John DiMaggioGUEST
So get administrative privileges because they can sell the access for more if they have that.
John DiMaggioGUEST
And then they go to usually underground dark web forums.
John DiMaggioGUEST
Sometimes you'll see it on Telegram.
John DiMaggioGUEST
But they'll go and they'll sell this access.

David MorrowHOST
And what is some of their motives for it? I mean, I would think it's kind of obvious.
David MorrowHOST
I would think there might not be great opportunity where they live for economic prosperity.
David MorrowHOST
And if you go to the dark web, they have recruitment sites where these guys make $10,000 a week, which is a fortune over there.
David MorrowHOST
Yeah.
Aeric AzanaHOST
who reveals they were paid to hijack mail and force her to kill Steven.
Aeric AzanaHOST
Following this, Joe is tipped off by Counselor Murph to investigate the FeelsNet, aka the Dark Web of the City Enduring.
Aeric AzanaHOST
This leads her to Platform Solid Ground, where she finds the equivalent of a sweatshop that forces its users to use Switch Off to provide intellectual property that they can profit from.
Aeric AzanaHOST
Joe attempts a breakout, but is apprehended and remanded to Peace Division custody.
speaker_6HOST
Well, the games we are going to dissect today span several decades.
speaker_6HOST
They bridge this massive gap from the physical smoke-filled arcades of the early 1980s all the way to modern anonymous message boards and the deepest corners of the dark web.
speaker_5HOST
Which are basically unregulated Wild Wests.
speaker_6HOST
Completely.

speaker_5HOST
And it plummets into the realm of actual, illegal, highly prosecutable, real-world danger.
speaker_6HOST
It gets very real, very fast.
speaker_5HOST
We need to talk about the dark web and a game called Sad Satan.
speaker_6HOST
This is the exact moment where the fun, speculative nature of internet mythology abruptly stops and harsh, unforgiving reality sets
Joey LewandowskiHOST
But I also think a lot of this is like, did you know that people can find out where you are and what you're doing based on what you're posting online? It's like, yeah, I know.
ShredsHOST
You know who writes nonfiction books like this about that, is this guy named Jamie Bartlett, who, um, he's got a book called The Dark Web, and he's got another book about, um, Bitcoin, uh, or, like, a woman that, like, disappeared.
ShredsHOST
Um-
Joey LewandowskiHOST
He just want- he just wrote one called How to Talk to AI.
Rob SmedleyHOST
I mean, he drove a great race.
Rob SmedleyHOST
We can get into it in the dark web, but the strategy was definitely better for Kimi.
Jake HumphreyHOST
Let's get into it when we get
Rob SmedleyHOST
to
Jake HumphreyHOST
the
Rob SmedleyHOST
dark web.
Otmar SzafnauerHOST
Did he lock into that strategy because of the short VSC? Without the VSC, do you end up in the same spot?
Rob SmedleyHOST
Without the VSC, do you end up in the same spot? Yes, I think so.
Terence PowerHOST
I mean, what's that like? The Black Channel or something? Oh, Black Mirror? No, the...
Terence PowerHOST
The Dark Web.
Terence PowerHOST
The Dark Web.
Terence PowerHOST
That's what you're on about, are you?

This is stuff like...
Steve LehtoHOST
So this story is from KrebsOnSecurity.com. FBI probes service selling 153 million or more driver's licenses.
Steve LehtoHOST
So a new identity theft service on the dark web says it's selling digital scans of more than 153 million driver's licenses from people in the U.S. and Canada.
Steve LehtoHOST
You say, Steve, where's Hertz? Oh, they're coming up.
Steve LehtoHOST
Based on interviews with individuals whose licenses are available for purchase on this service, it appears to be siphoning the data by going into the systems of a widely used identity verification company based in Louisiana.
Steve LehtoHOST
Krebs on Security has also learned that the New Orleans field office of the FBI launched an official inquiry into the source of the images.
Steve LehtoHOST
So in other words, there's somebody on the dark web saying, we've got driver's licenses and more for over 153 million drivers.
Steve LehtoHOST
And they say, we got this from a company that has this stuff in their database, and we got into that database.
Steve LehtoHOST
So a source alerted Krebs on Security to the service advertising this stuff, and the company is offering access to digital scans of identity documents on more than 170 million people in North America.
Deb RobertsHOST
and an unwelcome post-Labor Day double play exposing major tech security concerns.
Deb RobertsHOST
Per Dark Web Informer and other sites, the Black Hat hackers at Shiny Hunters have obtained a trove of driver's licenses, which one theory holds were secured as part of the Mammoth Nexus hack and Dark Web's sale of 153 million driver's licenses nationwide.
Deb RobertsHOST
Nice! So one license displayed as part of the database is not current, that of dead Palm Beach sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Deb RobertsHOST
So that means the database may or may not be current, but we've all been driving in Florida for many, many years.
