Fortnite, Netflix and Uber accounts being sold for just £8 on the dark web

Login details for Fortnite, Netflix and Uber accounts are selling for as little as £8 on illicit online markets, according to dark web researchers. The latest figures come from the first annual update of the Dark Web Market Price Index, compiled by researchers at VPN site Top10VPN.com. A series of high-profile data breaches has contributed to a thriving online black market, with high profile data breaches involving the likes of British Airways and Mariott Hotels seeing logins inundate the dark web – a hidden section of the internet that is only accessible using specialist software. "This is a highly – and understandably – worrying situation for customers who might have been caught in hacks," said Simon Migliano, head of research at Top10VPN.com. "Storing payment information across a whole range of online accounts – even social media – is now par for the course for the majority of consumers as it's simply so convenient. The downside is that if a fraudster gains access to one account they then, essentially, have the keys to the kingdom."
