What You Are Looking At
These charts show live data from our DarkWatch system — a Tor-routed dark web monitoring platform that tracks criminal activity targeting UK residents. Every number comes from real captures on criminal forums, Telegram channels, and dark web markets. This is not generic advice. This is what our systems found today.
Dark Web Captures — This Week
What This Means For You
The line went up on Thursday because we detected 8 new fraud networks selling fake World Cup 2026 tickets. Every spike in our graph represents a real threat we helped shut down or warned the public about.
Most Common Threats Targeting UK Residents
The Numbers Explained
91% of UK adults received a phishing email last year. 76% got a scam phone call. 40% encountered AI voice cloning — this did not exist two years ago.
Where the Money Goes — £6.8 Billion Lost
Breaking This Down
Investment fraud is the biggest slice at 34% — criminals promising huge returns on fake investments. Advance fee scams (18%) are the "pay a fee to release your prize" trick.
Knowledge Changes Everything
The Bottom Line
Only 22% could identify a phishing email before reading our guides. After using our resources, that jumps to 85%. Knowledge is the best defence.
