Dark Web Marketplace and Cybercrime Pricing EOY 2020>
Flashpoint
In recent years, thereâs been significantly higher turnover in dark web marketplaces. Today it can even seem like the entire cybercrime economy is a neverending carousel of dark web marketplaces that routinely open and close. As popular ones shut down and new ones spin up in their place, it results in major, albeit temporary, spikes and drops in dark web list pricing and service availability.

The increasingly transient nature of DWMs is also a leading factor explaining the asymmetrical market dynamics of the cybercrime economy and the often wide variations in DWM pricing. Itâs also a key reason why all DWM pricing information is uniquely challenging to normalize. On the other hand, its high and growing activity rates are also important indicators of just how strong the cybercrime economy is todayâon both supply and demand sides.

Phishing exploit kits sold on DWMs are increasingly packaged with dedicated support to help the buyer customize the design of phishing lookalike webpage. Specific exploit kits targeting Office365 vulnerabilities are more highly sought after, frequently priced into low triple figures ($100+). Conversely, ransomware exploit kits remain inexpensive in comparison as buyers tend to prefer fully-managed ransomware attack offerings and Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) in particular. Meanwhile, vendors sell bundled legacy ransomware exploit kits for cheap, typically costing about $12 for nine legacy exploits.

This strong demand for stolen personal data also includes Fullz listings, which package together various combinations of identity and banking data, such as bank logs, routing numbers, payment cards, government-issued IDs, as well as personally identifiable information (PII) such as US social security numbers (SSNs) or date of birth (DoB) records.
