Recently, a Dark Web based Russian website was found to be selling hundreds of passwords that were stolen from Dutch companies. The website was selling the passwords at only a few dollars, giving almost anyone high level access to company sectors. The login credentials themselves, give a malicious actor the ability to view medical documents, and even finance based information. According to an news-outlet group in the Netherlands, the total number of passwords was 900.
With that said, there are more passwords being added by the day. It was last reported that the website contained over 64,000 login details. Per set of credentials, anyone can pay anywhere from 4 - 15 dollars.
While several of the aforementioned companies were informed of the theft of customer credentials, the actors involved in the theft will likely be using this to garner more profits.
