    Description/Abstract:
    In this paper, I study how general technology users perceive the dark web. In this study, I conducted research on what these users know about dark web technologies, activities, content, and how their perceptions changed after a first-hand experience on dark web marketplaces and sites. I aimed to tackle myths and misconceptions that users had about the dark web and present new data in order to educate and bring awareness to the dark web to those who may never have the opportunity or reason to come upon this information on their own. It is my hope that the findings of this paper and the experiences of the participants will foster the spread of knowledge and awareness to both the threats and benefits that the dark web contributes to society.

    Description/Abstract:
    In this paper, I study how medical records are being used by cyber-criminal for financial gain and patient manipulation. I studied what kind of criminal organizations may be involved in these operations and confirmed incidents from the black market. I conducted a literature review which generated several sources from online databases. I determined five major criminal factions that are most likely to use compromised medical records, determined possible motivations and looked at several cases of medical records being sold on the black market. The healthcare industry’s digitization efforts have left it tremendously ill-equip to combat emerging threats. It is evident that the healthcare industry must take extreme measures in order to counteract the evolving threat landscape. It is my hope that the findings of paper will being to shed light on these issues and help healthcare professionals understand what kind of threats the industry is facing.
