After a period of time being prevented by state management agencies with many technical measures such as knocking down the page, blocking domain names, blocking content, putting on “blacklist” … recently the problem of “malicious” dark web showed signs of strong growth. It is promoted through various types of cross-border mounted on websites, entertainment channels on social networks, etc. Most of the content on these websites is focused on relevant content areas. to sex, pornography to attract visitors, through which gambling, physiological products, even some target groups also use it as a tool to broker prostitution.

Huge profits from malicious dark webs
The fact that the authorities have continuously dismantled pornographic websites and handled those who set up “black movie” websites in recent times has raised the question, why this phenomenon does not stop or even continue to bloom. flourishing?
Explaining this, Mr. Bui Vinh Cuu Long (IT expert) said that through the discovered cases, the profits from the dark web business are huge, up to billions of dong, while Operators don’t have to work hard, just sit in one place, hide their faces, operate through computers and wait for the money to flow into their accounts. That is the reason why the subjects still rush in, despite both morality and law. In many cases, the subjects also set up companies to do business to hide the eyes of the authorities, and at the same time expand the business scale.
For example, in the case of Nguyen Duc Nhat (34 years old), the director of Nguyen Duc Nhat Company Limited in Binh Duong colluded with the target group Le Van Ty (29 years old), Le Huu Hieu (31 years old) and Nguyen Duc Anh. Ich Vu (32 years old) in Hue has organized a business and made money from web porn.

After that, Japan established Nguyen Duc Nhat One Member Company Limited to have a legal entity sign a contract with Onepay Online Payment Trading Joint Stock Company, authorizing this unit to collect transaction amounts on the dark web. then transferred to a Japanese account at the bank. Like other pornographic web business objects, Japan put movie links on the dark web to advertise on social networking sites, forums… attracting curious people to visit.
In order to attract a large number of people to join the membership, Japan offers a “policy” that each person who introduces a new member to join the dark web will enjoy 60% of the amount that this member has to pay to Onepay Company by Credit card, Japan enjoys 35% and Onepay Company pays the equivalent of 5%.
With an overseas server rental of up to VND 4 billion/month, Japan has used a lot of active members in many countries to upload pornographic movies to the website and get paid for participating in this “contribution”, including 3 subjects Hieu, Vu and Ty in Hue. According to the investigation agency’s statistics, the Japanese dirty website has attracted over 800,000 members, including 80,000 premium VIP members with packages of 9.96 euros/month, 34.96 euros/quarter and 59.96 euros/year.
Due to the extensive network of members around the world, in just one year from 2013 to 2014, the porn website brought Japan and its accomplices a huge amount of up to 132 billion VND. After deducting expenses, Japan earned 22 billion dong, Hieu was paid 5 billion dong by Japan, Vu was paid nearly 500 million dong, and Ty got 80 million dong.
How to prevent malicious dark web?
According to IT expert Bui Vinh Cuu Long, currently, state management agencies have been doing a good job of managing with tough measures such as knocking down websites, blocking pages with technical measures, but still cannot be exhaustive. Because the profits are so great that the internet is an open, ever-changing environment. Today authorities use this measure, tomorrow the subjects will have new tricks to circumvent the law. In addition to relying on authorities, each individual, parent and family should also equip themselves with knowledge and awareness to stay away from websites with bad and harmful content. In the case of parents, in order to prevent their children from accessing malicious websites, it is necessary to actively use blocking tools such as black web blocking services from network operators and solution providers. software… However, according to Mr. Long, raising people’s awareness is the most important.
Agreeing with the above point of view, Lawyer Tram Anh (Hanoi Bar Association) said that the law does not have regulations on penalties for accessing depraved and malicious websites. However, when accessing it, users may be influenced by gambling ads that lead to participation. Thus, it is easy to get entangled in Article 321 of the 2015 Penal Code, which was amended and supplemented in 2017 with provisions on the crime of Gambling. Or in the process of reviewing, downloading and sharing clipsex may be handled with the act of spreading depraved cultural products (Article 326). Therefore, accessing these malicious dark web sites can make people’s awareness, morality, and lifestyle, especially children, distorted, and even commit illegal acts.
In the face of unpredictable variations from these dark webs, it is necessary for the intervention of the authorities to prevent or even remove these websites immediately to avoid causing negative consequences in public opinion. festival.
