In 2025, the dark web is no longer a mysterious corner of the internet—it’s a fully organized marketplace for cybercrime, running like an underground Amazon.
If you think your data isn’t valuable, think again.
🕵️ What Is the Dark Web in 2025?
The dark web refers to a part of the internet that isn’t indexed by search engines and is accessible only through special tools like Tor. While some use it for privacy, criminals exploit it to trade illegal goods, data, malware kits, and more.
🚫 What’s Being Sold on the Dark Web Right Now?
1. Stolen Credentials & Access Kits
Bank logins, email passwords, Netflix accounts, and even backend admin panels are up for sale. According to Kaspersky, credentials for online banking accounts were being sold for as low as $50 in 2023—and that price keeps dropping.
