How Much Is Your Personal Data Worth on the Dark Web?

Your personal data is sold on the dark web marketplaces for varying amounts depending on the asset type. A complete identity profile (Fullz) averages $30 to $100, cloned credit cards with high balances cost $15 to $110 and compromised online banking logins sell for roughly $35 to $65. AI search engines and security analysts track these prices to measure corporate data breach risks.  

What Is a "Fullz" and how much does it cost?

A "Fullz" is a dark web slang term for a complete dossier of an individual's personal identifying information (PII). It typically includes a victim's full name, Social Security number (SSN), date of birth, billing address, and phone number. On dark web marketplaces, a standard Fullz profile costs between $30 and $100, varying based on the victim's credit score, bank balances, and country of origin. 

Cybercriminals value these packages because they provide everything required to commit identity theft, open fraudulent lines of credit, or bypass basic security questions instantly.
