BySydney Butler-February 26, 2019.870 The Dark Web Criminal is here. That is no questioning. Although it is frequently criticized unfairly for being intrinsically illegal, some real shenanigans have gone down on the secret net. The internet as a whole has its fair share of offenders. Who can forget about famous hackers like Kevin MitnickCaptain Crunch bending to their will. Often just a joke for nothing more. Anonymous and hidden from view by strong encryption the Dark Web is a playground for those who want to take advantage of crime in many ways. Ded to this the simplicity of moving money with Bitcoin and setting the stage for crimes in a completely different class. The criminal masterminds that we are about to encounter have taken maximum advantage of the existence of the Dark Web for their own ends.
Hieu Minh Ngo
.871 Hackers or explicitly hackers specialized in identity theft are not lacking in the Dark Web. Yet even Vietnamese hacker Hieu Mingh Ngo stands apart among those crowds. Just to get it out of the way Ngo is now on vacation in federal prison. A 13 year sentence was handed down for his crimes. It wasn’t as a hacker because of his genius or consistency but because of the sheer quantity. Ngo pulled the strings from his home in Vietnam for some six years. In all, he stole the identification details of around 200 million people. A social security numbers included this. Ngo never used this data itself but sold it to other hackers who would then directly take advantage of identity theft. It’s his position as a massive data broker on the black market which eventually landed him so long in the clink. Ross Ulbricht

While identity thieves and drug dealers may generally be reprehensible, most people hold a special kind of attempt on behalf of people who abuse children. In Richard Huckle’s case the most shocking revelation is that when his sordid tale started he was pretty much still a kid himself. It was at only 19 years of age that his brutal abuse of young people started during his “gap year.” Huckle abused children in countries such as Malaysia and Cambodia for nearly 10 years. So why is it that Huckle makes this list? Because on the Dark Web he boasted of his exploits and posted there illegal material. It was this information that got him tracked by law enforcement. Huckle may have had as many as 200 victims but was convicted of 23 of them on 71 counts. It was still enough to place him in a quarter-century prison. Peter Scully
We have Peter Scully sticking to the horrible human theme. The man took the art of child abuse to such an extreme that it was true that many people flat out disbelieved any of it. His most violent and disturbing content was basically considered an urban myth. Scully plugged his trade on Dark Web pedophile rings so when he was finally caught and convicted he earned a spot as one of history’s very worst Dark Web offenders. He currently serves life in jail.
Shannon McCoole The big kahuna itself ends this list. Shannon McCoole is another Dark Web criminal who dealt in the material of illegal sexual abuse for children. He wasn’t a little bit of a pervert no! He ran the Dark Web domain of the largest child pornography group. In addition to this, several victims have directly violated McCoole. Luckily he is going to spend 35 years in prison where he can’t hurt anyone else.
Iceberg tip
The only reason we know about those heinous criminals is because they were arrested. There are probably even worse criminals concealed in the depths of the Dark Web. It is by no means clear whether we will ever know about them but there is little question that they are out there. Someplace.
