How much is my information worth?
Different types of information have different values on the Dark Web. According to research firm, Comparitech, personal information from typical Canadian citizens including social security numbers, credit card numbers, banking information, etc. sells for just $15.00 on average per record. How do they get into my network/systems/information? More sensitive information (including current login credentials for a PayPal account for example) will sell for hundreds of dollars or more. One way or the other, once information has been stolen, the digital thieves will find a market for it somewhere and retrieve some value from it, whether in cash (bitcoins) or in trade, bartering their stolen information for other stolen information they desire.
