Dell recently has published their annual report on hackers and the underground market of the internet.

"Finally, getting bank account credentials with money already plugged in seems rather cheap as well. In the U.S., a bank account with $1,000 costs $40 while an account with $2,000 costs $80. There are also accounts with $4,000, $7,000, and $15,000, too costing customers up to $500. Airline and hotel points are up for sale as well, with 200,000 points for a U.S.-based airline costing a mere $60 and 1,000,000 points toward international hotel chains costing $200."
Does anyone know how this works? Where is this underground hacker community? And how in the world a $1000 account costs only $40? (Or the travel points for that matter) |
