A gripping audio series about a killer-for-hire scam on the dark web is a reminder of how technology holds up a mirror to human nature

This column comes to you as a break from listening to a riveting podcast series called Kill List. It’s about a secret website that journalist and author Carl Miller discovered on the dark web, the slimy underbelly of the internet. The site essentially runs what one might call an “assassination market” or a murder-for-hire service. Customers identify and profile someone whom they wish to have killed and pay (in bitcoin, natch) for the service they require. Hence the title of the podcast series.
