Your Facebook access can be bought for only $ 2: a new scandal on the social network

Hackers are selling Facebook logins on the online black market for as little as $2,60, according to new research from Money Guru. This information was made public just a couple of hours after the Facebook administration announced a large-scale attack, which could result in a leak of data from tens of millions of users.

Recall that on friday Facebook has made a statement that about 50 million user accounts could have been hacked as a result of a cyber attack on the social network. The attack was discovered on Tuesday afternoon. A fresh study has found that hacked email accounts are also being sold on the black market. "Markets" are easily accessible to those with the right browser and the right web addresses, writes New York Post.

Even financial data is sold cheap - for example, credit card information is available for as little as $14 and debit card information for $19,50.

The study examined the availability of the selling logins for 26 most frequently used online accounts. The results are shocking: someone's complete online identity could theoretically be bought for a total of just $ 972. This amount can give the buyer access to online shopping, entertainment services and profiles of social networks of another person.

Sales data will also include personal information in the covered accounts, for example, home addresses and phone numbers.

The report states: “Although the amount stolen from a fraud victim is often relatively small, 39% of cases result in the theft of $326 or more. The data also shows that in almost 25% of cases, this amount can range from $653 to $52200.”

“The fact that scammers can spend less than a thousand dollars and gain access to tens of thousands is a scary thought,” the study authors add.
