The Dark Web is a small portion of the Internet, but it concentrates many cybercriminals and threat actors who generally exchange ideas, thoughts, tips, tricks and experience through hidden forums.

Many of these cybercriminals also sell various goods and services; Privacy Affairs has published a new report about the average prices of those services in 2022.

Valid credit card data with an account balance up to $5,000 USD are sold at an average of $120 in the Dark Web, though a single credit card can be sold for as low as $15. In December 2021, according to the report, approximately 4.5 million stolen credit cards were available on the Dark Web.

A stolen PayPal account with a minimum $1,000 balance is worth $20, while 50 hacked PayPal account credentials without a known balance are sold for an average of $150. Some data is more costly: A CashApp verified account may be worth up to $800, and a verified Stripe account with a payment gateway can be worth up to $1,000.

Initial access brokers have become more and more visible on the Dark Web and sell their services on many cybercriminal marketplaces.

The most common types of access sold for those prices on the Dark Web are valid credentials for RDP access, which enables an attacker to impersonate an organization's employee and get an initial foothold inside the corporate network.
