Whizcase Study: How $6 Can Buy Compromised Social Media & Streaming Accounts From the Dark Web?

 

The latest Whizcase review reveals that watching the latest film or Netflix series is more affordable than ever, with $100 buying a complete suite of hacked accounts on the Dark Web. Social media accounts are the most abundantly available, with darknet markets overflowing with hacked social media profiles selling for as little as $6 per hacked account. 
According to the report, there is a thriving market for hacked entertainment service accounts: 
  • LinkedIn account: $45
  • Facebook account: $14
  • Instagram account: $12
  • Discord account: $12
  • Snapchat account: $12
  • TikTok account: $6
The majority of these are obtained through social engineering or phishing campaigns after hackers have compromised users’ registration email addresses. These accounts are typically linked to their original owners’ payment processing solution, which hackers frequently compromise. The original owners have been locked out of these accounts and are unable to unlink their credit card information from them. In these cases, the only option is to cancel the attached credit or debit card.
Whizcase revealed that a hacked account from any major social media network could be purchased for $127. The cheapest is Reddit, which costs $6, and the most expensive is an Instagram account, which costs $12. LinkedIn was the most expensive social profile, costing $45.
