A dark web marketplace named '2easy' is becoming a significant player in the sale of stolen data "Logs" harvested from roughly 600,000 devices infected with information-stealing malware.

"Logs" are archives of data stolen from compromised web browsers or systems using malware, and their most important aspect is that they commonly include account credentials, cookies, and saved credit cards.

2easy launched in 2018 and has experienced rapid growth since last year when it only sold data from 28,000 infected devices and was considered a minor player.

Based on actor feedback analysis from multiple dark web forums, 2easy logs consistently offer valid credentials that provide network access to many organizations.

The only downside compared to other platforms is that 2easy doesn't give prospective buyers a preview of a sold item, such as the redacted IP address or OS version for the device the data was stolen.

Each item purchased on 2easy comes in an archive file containing the stolen logs from the selected bot.
