Australian IDs and credit cards are traded on the dark web for less than $20.
With less than $20 cybercriminals could siphon off all your money from your bank account.
The personal data of unknowing Australians that could be used for various criminal activities, is available right now through the dark web for not much more than McDonald’s Big Mac meal, researchers say.
Cybercriminals are able to steal fullz – the term utilized to describe the full credentials on the dark web to describe someone’s complete credentials – and use this to carry out identity theft and open new credit lines in the victim’s name, taking over accounts, withdrawing cash from banks and other felony.
Researchers from Comparitech which is a UK-based internet security firm, analysed the more than forty dark web marketplaces to see how much identities and bundles of fullz were sold for.
A fullz bundle will typically include some kind of national identification number and name, as well as date of birth, driver’s license number, bank account statements as well as utility bills. Sometimes, the scan of passports or licenses.
Americans have the lowest fullz with an average of $10.50 on each recording.

Mr. Kershaw has informed 9News the AFP is finding millions of horrific photos and videos, especially on the Dark Web.
But it’s not just the dark recesses of the internet that pose an opportunity for hackers.
Mr Kershaw warns that seemingly innocent websites such as TikTok and Facebook are not secure and can pose an hazard to those who aren’t careful.
He added that criminals will be able to commit crimes in a manner that is not questioned if Facebook continues to pursue plans for completely encrypted messaging. This will block any monitoring by law enforcement agencies.
National IDs of More Than 1 Lakh Indians Have Ended Up On The Dark Web: All The Details Here
More than 1 lakh scans of Indians national IDs, comprising Aadhaar, PAN card and passports, are being put on the dark web for sale, cyber intelligence firm Cyble said on Wednesday. The information leaked is believed to have originated from a third-party source and not from the government’s system, as per the report of Cyble.
“We came across a non-reputed actor who is currently selling over 1 lakh Indian National IDs on the dark net. With such a low reputation, ideally, we would have skipped this; however, the samples shared by the actor intrigued our interest — and also the volume. The actor is alleged to have access to over 1 lakh IDs from different places in India,” Cyble declared. The information leaking by cybercriminals could lead to illicit activities like identity thefts, scams and corporate spying. Many criminals use the personal information in IDs to win trust of the people over a phone call in order to conceal fraudulent activities.
The Cyble researchers have gathered about 1000 IDs through the vendor and confirmed that the scanned IDs belong to Indians. “Preliminary analysis suggests that the data originated from a third party, and no indication or artefact is indicating that it came from a government system. At this point, Cyble researchers are still investigating this further — we are hoping to share an update soon,” Cyble stated.
The scanned ID documents suggest that the data may be exposed from a firm’s data base in the section where they have to adhere to “Know Your Customer’ (KYC) guidelines. “Cyble researchers have also learned about a surge in KYC and banking scams — leaks such as this are often used by scammers to target individuals, especially elderlies,” Cyble stated.
The cyber intelligence company has advised individuals to refrain from sharing personal information especially financial information over telephone, e-mail, or SMS. “Regularly monitor your financial transaction, if you notice any suspicious transaction, contact your bank immediately,” the company said.
The month of May saw Cyble reported two incidents where personal data that included 7.65 crore Indians were put up for sale in the dark web. In one case the seller claimed that it had obtained data for 4.75 crore Indians from an online directory Truecaller and in another cases, the seller claimed to have sourced data from job websites. Truecaller however, denied the claim of the breach of its database.
