Over two billion people use Facebook to buy and sell goods, chat with each other, and post vacation pictures. Now, according to a new report by Talos Intelligence, the social network is being harnessed by Dark Web cybercriminals as a place to sell credit card information, illegal contraband, and much more.
What's even more surprising, according to experts, is that this Dark Web activity isn't that dark or hard to find -- criminals sell credit cards right out in the open. One quick search for a term like "carding" (a criminal term for selling credit cards) reveals dozens of Facebook Groups.

As I've pointed out - some of those entrapment artists are more talented than others. On a forum for trucking discussions, there are some females, or people with female names, anyway. Talked with one off and on for days, before it started getting creepy. When she "admitted" that she was only fifteen is when I stopped talking to her. Not every sting is run by a complete idiot. If they were, they wouldn't have as many successes as they claim.
