Facebook accounts are being sold on 'Dark Web'

After the Facebook attack that gave hackers access to around 90 million accounts it would be a matter of time to know if those responsible would take advantage of the situation, with The Independent having verified that user accounts on the social network were on sale in 'Dark Web'.The accounts are being sold for between $ 3 and $ 12, with total accounts being worth between $ 150 and $ 600 million. Note that these transactions can only be done with digital currency units such as Bitcoin."Personal information is simply too valuable in 'Dark Web'. As long as the stolen data continues to be sold at high prices and equip offenders with the necessary means to carry out attacks, seek redemption of victims, extort information or destroy property, organizations must exhaust all measures to diligently detect and protect their networks, devices and users, "the CEO of SonicWall security firm Bill Conner told The Independent.
