The Darknet sells and buys databases that store personal and confidential information. Among the goods on this illegal market are the logins and passwords of administrators of various resources, as well as the data required to access financial and banking information. The most expensive accounts are those required to access websites, domains, and other network resources. Often, such data is sold off the auction at prices ranging from $ 125,000 to $ 500,000 per account.

Data from users of antivirus programs, logins and passwords to file-sharing networks cost $ 1-2 per valid pair – they are sold in tens of thousands. At a piece-rate price, in the tens or hundreds of dollars, data for access to social networks is spent. Then such data is used for various scams related to obtaining loans, arranging installments, registering dubious companies.
