This is where your leaked or stolen data can potentially end up. NordVPN initiated a study to find out the prices and the items sold in a dark web store. The purpose of the study was to find out the potential threats arising from the dark web. The study was conducted by cybersecurity specialists. By no means do we recommend our users visit the dark web. đ Subscribe to get the latest content: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSZhRxyloC-qzURiOa3vbFQ?sub_confirmation=1 *** Contents of the video: 00:00 Intro 00:29 How much is stolen data worth on the dark web? 01:48 Tips on how to protect your data *** The dark web is a murky business, and a lot of dirty stuff happens there. But itâs also useful to dive into the dark side to better understand potential threats from that section of the internet. If we understand what types of data criminals can buy from hackers on the dark web, we will understand what types of threats we may face and what types of data we should be securing. This is the reason NordVPN initiated a study in collaboration with independent third-party researchers. We analyzed a dark web market that, to this day, has illegally sold more than 720K items and data pieces for 17.3M USD. And hereâs what we found out. Passports are the most expensive of the merchandise for sale and cost 600 USD on average. Czech, Slovakian, or Lithuanian passports are the most expensive, with their cost as much as 3,800 USD per item. However, you can get an Argentinian one for only 9 USD. The price usually depends on how difficult it is to fake a document and its market demand. Naturally, the stuff that can be brute forced or guessed is much cheaper. Payment card data and mobile phone numbers cost around 10 USD. Online accounts sell at low prices as well because they are easily obtained through credential stuffing. You can get a cracked Netflix account for 10 USD, while a Twitter account costs as low as 2 USD. But bank accounts are expensive â their average price is 500 USD, while some cost as much as 4,000 USD. Crypto accounts are also not cheap and cost around 400 USD. Cybercriminals buy emails that they later use for phishing attacks. The price of a hacked email account ranges from 10 to 100 USD. As you can see, your data can be purchased almost by anyone once it appears on the dark web. So how can you avoid this? Here are a few tips: First, make your data security a priority. If a site or a service asks you for sensitive data, ask tough questions about the company's security methods. If its safety raises doubts, maybe itâs better to avoid using such a service. Second, educate yourself on how to protect your data. Tons of quality material is available online. Third, stay vigilant and react quickly and effectively once your data is breached. Fourth, monitor your accounts. Request weekly bank statements or activate transaction notifications for your banking app. Also, turn on the security settings for all of your accounts so you know when suspicious login attempts are made. Finally, make use of tools offered by the sites or services you use. For example, use a password manager to create and store complex and secure passwords. Stay safe!
