These things scare me...
I will quote one of my passengers Tweets on PocketPlanes:
"I feel like someone is watching me..."

The scary thing is, if you've gone on the deepweb, there's a possibility of a virus being installed on your computer that lets a hacker see what your webcam sees, effectively spying on you. Scary stuff.


That you can catch a trojan can happen anywhere on the Internet. The possibility always exists.

I can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that the odds of getting such a virus would be more likely on a deepweb site than a normal one.


No you can't, you just assume. There is no data to back up your claim. Deepweb users are more cautious also there are way less users on there. Its easier and more effective to pack trojans in harmless looking downloads.

 

Besides most hacker wouldn't use a trojan to spy on a random dude sitting infront of his PC possibly fapping. Omegle /Chatroulette were invented for this. Trojans look for interesting data like passwords creditcards and account data and send them back to the Hacker. And make your PC into a part of a network. The Hacker then uses your PC together with many others to DDOS sites or hack into other systems or whatever.

 

I am not saying Deepweb is Trojan free just saying that its probably just as infested as the surface web. 5% of all PCs have Malware on them. And some people don't even notice it for years, that their Computer was hijacked by some hacker. A trojan could be for example in a program to install a PS3 Controller on your PC you found on a youtube video or a game/pirated program or even an antivirus program/email.  Maybe you have one right now. Some Trojans hide themselfs and make you no problems because that makes sure your PC does what the hacker wants without you interfering and that he can get more (valuable) data.
