Clients of British banks are not immune to bank secrecy theft either. For example, Lloyds Bank accounts with a balance of about £5,000 are sold for up to £400 each. The subject of the theft are PayPal accounts, the prices of which depend on the size of the balance. Researchers found that one seller offered a verified PayPal account with a balance of $3,000 for $200. These funds are obtained by laundering in conversion centers, where they are converted into "clean" cash.

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.

“ on its own, but when combined with fake receipts, IDs, and pakistan whatsapp data 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 social 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.
