A new whitepaper on the cost of criminal services has revealed that, over the past five years due to supply and demand, the prices for botnet rentals and credit card numbers have taken a nosedive.
Ransomware-as-a-service prices still start at $5 with Crypterlocker, which has been around since 2013, continuing to demand a high price (around $100), but copies of driver’s licenses, passports and bill statements start at $5 – similar to prices in 2015, while United States credit cards, which were sold at $20 in 2015, now start at just $1.
