Stolen Crypto Accounts Fetch $105 on Dark Web, Report Says
A SecureList report cited by PANews finds that stolen cryptocurrency accounts sell for an average of $105 on the dark web, with prices ranging from $60 to $400 based on factors like account age, balance, linked payment methods, and 2FA status. Most accounts are compromised through phishing, with stolen data leaked via email, Telegram bots, or admin panels—Telegram being favored for speed and anonymity. More sophisticated operations use admin panel frameworks for real-time verification and data management. From January to September 2025, 88.5% of phishing attacks focused on stealing account credentials.
