The Dark Web is also a goldmine for obtaining counterfeit documents, including full identification documents, as well as various types of identifiers. “Green cards” for entry into the United States, driver’s licenses, visas, and insurance documents cost an average of $2,000. One of the dealers, observers noticed, was selling a stolen “full profile” for $40. The package of documents included Social Security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, educational information, and phone numbers.
“ identities on its own, but when combined with fake receipts, IDs, and other documents, it can cause extreme damage,” the TRU team believes. What’s worse, people themselves don’t value their valuables when they post them on social media. Obviously, they become easy prey for hackers. They already have an arsenal of tools (targeted online attacks, malware, phishing campaigns), so posting personal data in the public domain is a real gift for hackers.
It is easy to guess that selling information from italy mobile database networks (hacked accounts, account numbers, addresses, etc.) is another layer of business in the Dark Web segment, although not as profitable as trading in bank card data. Thus, details of the personal life of 1,000 Instagram account owners will cost $15, 10,000 accounts - $60. Among other things, one of the hackers offers individual hacking of Facebook, Netflix and Twitter accounts for $13.
"Whether you are a small business owner, a business executive, or an individual working comfortably at your home computer, you are a target for attackers. If you have valuable data, the threat of cyberattacks will always loom, so both companies and individuals need to arm themselves with resources to ensure information security," the researchers warn.
Stolen data is a threat to people’s
