C&C - Internet Safety Description "According to the report, in 2019 alone, there were more than 4 billion breached records. In 2020 so far, there is an estimated additional 2 billion breached records that have gone up for sale on various darkweb markets. Hacking groups like Gnostic Players and Shiny Hunters account for a vast majority of data breaches involving stolen user data, and are indirectly responsible for fueling an entire criminal economy of stolen accounts." "Thanks to their efforts, databases of consumer information are stolen and sold to private buyers, only to be repurposed and used to hack individual consumer accounts." "The research into several black-markets auctions revealed that, on the high end, sellers averaged $25,000 per week, or roughly $1.2 million per year. The lower-end sellers yielded an average of $5,000 per month or $60,000 per year, a total of $40,000 per month, or $480,000 per seller/per year in stolen account sales."
