The network went underground for a number of years, and was resuscitated by a Russian company. I used ICQ back in the 1990s during my high school years to keep in touch with my friends. For the benefit of our demonstration, we will use the ICQ network. The aim of this blog post is to help you get a better grasp as to how chat rooms are used, and why your company should pay attention to them. There is still much uncertainty around what these chat rooms are, and are not. These communities have however been the target of several police operations and, coupled with the technical challenges of using the dark web, there have been growing signs that the most dynamic communities are now hosted on chat rooms on Discord, Telegram and ICQ. The dark web is host to many dynamic malicious actor communities. Our years of monitoring the dark web have helped better understand what it is, and most importantly, is not.

Over the past decade, the dark web has attracted much of the attention in the security field as the premier source of threats for companies.
