Cybercriminals from the dark side of the internet are reportedly selling their compromised and recovered crypto accounts on the darknet for as little as $30 each.
According to an April 24 research paper by online data protection experts titled “The Dark Web Price Index,” cybercriminals are selling fraudulently obtained financial account information on the dark web. Prices for some of the cryptocurrency accounts that have been misappropriated include:
These numbers show a significant increase in the price paid for the account details in 2022, according to data from last year’s edition of the Dark Web Market Index. In 2022, hackers pay only $260 and $250 for Kraken and Binance certified accounts respectively. Hacked accounts can be used to illegally evade the Know Your Customer (KYC) process on popular cryptocurrency exchanges.
Cryptocurrency accounts are not the only thing on the list. Account information for credit cards with up to $5,000 is sold for just $110 while credentials for online banking accounts with up to $2,000 are sold for $60.
Login details are also supported for all types of social media accounts, including hacked Facebook, Airbnb and Gmail accounts, starting at $25 per person. In the statement of the shocking number, an inspection of Miklos Zoltan says the Internet users will be careful in their personal information than ever.
“If someone gets your hand with your money details or refer to a social network, the higher value mentioned by the value that affects them, by zoltan.”Chances are you’ll appreciate these things more than they do, because they’re just another sign for a quick buck.”
Recovering accounts on popular crypto exchanges is a growing problem in the industry.
Recently, a customer of the US cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase filed a lawsuit against the company following an attack on their account. He said he lost “90% of his life savings” when he fell for a hack called “SIM swap” – where fraudsters control phone numbers by tricking telecom providers into connecting number and their own SIM card.
