Kim Komando spent a day on the dark web - these are the terrifying things I saw.

The deep web includes everything inaccessible to the public for safety, security and privacy reasons.

The dark web is filled with malware and scams, but law enforcement is there, too, watching for illegal activity.

Hackers regularly deal in Bitcoin or Monero , an untraceable cryptocurrency popular for dark web transactions and shady deals.

One site was selling hacked Bitcoin wallets at huge discounts, sometimes for just a fraction of what the digital currency is actually worth.

There are even places on the dark web selling counterfeit paper cash.
