A new cybersecurity study has uncovered a staggering 15 billion stolen account credentials actively circulating on dark web forums, according to researchers at the cybersecurity firm Digital Shadows.
Dark Web Marketplaces Fueling Cybercrime
Among these compromised accounts, the most valuable credentials belong to banking and financial services accounts. On average, these stolen login details are sold for $74 per account. The surge in data breaches—more than 100,000 separate breaches in the last two years—has contributed to a 300% increase in stolen credentials since 2018.
