Value of Stolen Card and Amazon Account Details Rockets

Researchers have seen large spikes in the value of certain stolen data being traded on the dark web, but log-ins for some accounts are selling for as little as $2. Top10VPN’s first Dark Web Market Price Index report revealed debit card details as the most valuable category, selling for an average of $250, a spike of 270% year-on-year. Amazon credentials jumped 237% in value to just over $30, while Facebook (75%), Uber (60%) and Netflix (29%) log-ins also recorded sharp increases over their 2018 price. They’re all selling for around the same price, at $9 for Facebook, $11 for Uber and just under $11 for Netflix. Twitter log-ins surged in value by 21% year-on-year but stand at just $2 today. Head of research, Simon Migliano, told Infosecurity that dark web prices are wont to fluctuate according to various factors. “We are now seeing Amazon accounts with high gift card balances as well as just normal hacked accounts, which is driving up prices as it’s easy money,” he explained by email.
