Since the real word money trail carries the danger of exposure, Dark Web operators transact in virtual currencies, the most popular being Bitcoins. In the recent cyberattacks involving Ransomware, the operators demanded from their victims ransom payment ranging between $300 and $600 through Bitcoins.
The near- unanimous opinion is to stay away from the Dark Web because it is inherently unsafe. It is so easy to lose your way, and valuables such as money and data in the Dark Web.
