By Jeremi

How much is your data worth on the dark web?

To us our personally identifiable information (PII) is invaluabled, it’s who we are, but on the dark web it actually doesn’t hold much value. In a study conducted by Privacy Affairs, your data is worth around 1010$

While our personally identifiable information (PII) might be priceless to us, it really doesn’t cost much on the dark web. According to a recent study by Privacy Affairs, your data is worth about $1,010 on the dark web. This reflects a full range of documents that enable identity theft.

Other personal data doesn’t cost that much. For example, your credit card details with related information cost as little as $14-$30 in a darknet marketplace. Hackers can sell your online banking login credentials for about $40.

The affordability of your information is unsettling. For example, according to Privacy Affairs, a forged US driver’s license of average quality costs just $70. Stolen PayPal account details go for about $198.56. Even worse, a DDoS attack with 10,000 to 50,000 requests per second costs just $10 for one hour.
