Fighting a constant uphill battle to keep the lights on and stomach full, Brud found his career prospects less than promising. Computer repair and network administration barely allowed him to make ends meet. Struggling with circumstances, his mind began to wander into the darker corners of the web.
The DarkNet — an underworld within the confines of cyberspace — became his focus. There, the boundaries blurred; right and wrong were masked behind strings of code and anonymised identities. He quickly discovered the lucrative prospects it offered.
A whole new world opened up for him. Illegal transactions, data manipulations, black-market deals — all ran rife, promising wealth to those with the guts and the skills. The stakes were high, but so were the rewards. The appeal was irresistible. As he delved deeper into the DarkNet, Brud found his golden vein, and he intended to mine it for all it was worth.
