Thatâs according to a new report from the content marketing agency Fractl, which analyzed all the fraud-related listings on three large âdark webâ marketplaces â Dream, Point and Wall Street Market â over several days last month.

Facebook logins can be sold for $5.20 each because they allow criminals to have access to personal data that could potentially let them hack into more of an individualâs accounts. The credentials to a PayPal PYPL, -0.25% Â account with a relatively high balance can be sold on the dark web for $247 on average, the report found. Oneâs entire online identity, including personal identification numbers and hacked financial accounts, can be sold for only about $1,200 on the dark web, Fractl found. Logins for food delivery websites such as Grubhub can be sold for about $9 because they allow criminals to fraudulently order expensive food and alcohol.
