Lately, Dark Web marketplace is being a sale store for the personal information and credentials of many Google and Yahoo accounts.
Same as deep web, dark web does require particular software, configuration or authorization to access it and is not operated by search engines as google or other websites do.
Huge franchises offering online services are used as a source by dark web marketplaces to steal user data which is then used for trading. The dark web has also become a popular source for trading illegitimate goods and services.
100,000 yahoo accounts are reported to be sold by a seller using handle ‘SunTzu583’, who sold 43 million Last.fm account for 0.0079 BTC ($10.75) in 2012.
SunTzu583 is also involved in selling 500,000 Gmail accounts for 0.0219 bitcoins ($28.24). 2008 MySpace hack, the 2013 Tumblr breach, and the 2014 Bitcoin Security Forum breach are said to be the source of these accounts.
