The Dark Web Uncovered: From Stolen Netflix Accounts to CNI Hacks

A new report from Intel Security has shone a light on the shadowy world of Dark Web cybercrime markets, where everything from £1 Netflix accounts to critical infrastructure access is available.

The security giant’s McAfee Labs division revealed a cyber-criminal underground which mimics the real world—with sellers offering guarantees on stolen cards, and ‘disreputable’ members of illegal forums named and shamed.

Stolen credit and debit cards start at just $5 in the US, while online video streaming services are even cheaper, beginning at only $0.55.

Payment card info is there in abundance, with the basic package including account number, CV2 and expiry date. Prices then rise for additional information such as bank account ID number, date of birth, and billing address, which allows the cyber-criminal to conduct more types of fraud.

Other data bought and sold on such sites included bank log-ins, payment service account details and even loyalty card info, Intel Security claimed.

Hackers are even selling the means to launch cyber-attacks on large corporations or critical infrastructure systems. For the full article click here
