In the last issue of A Little Bit of Anarchy, I wrote about how much your crypto accounts are worth on the dark web. This week, I’ll be highlighting how much your social media accounts are worth. 

From the long list of online accounts we create, social media accounts are amongst the most vulnerable. It only takes one click on a malicious link to lose access to your social media.

After a hacker gains access to your account, they could use it in many ways. They may decide to con your friends and family out of money by posing as you, or they may pawn it off on the dark web to a willing buyer.

You’d be surprised at how cheap your account would go for on the dark web. 😃

Here’s How Much Your Social Media Accounts Cost on the Dark Web

Here’s the dark web price index of 2021 pricing on your favorite account.

  • Hacked Facebook account - $65

  • Hacked Instagram account - $45

  • Hacked Twitter account - $35

  • Hacked Gmail account - $80

  • Instagram followers x 1000- $5

  • Spotify followers x 1000 - $2

  • Twitch followers x 1000 - $5

  • LinkedIn company page followers x 1000 - $12

  • Pinterest followers x 1000 - $4

  • Soundcloud plays x 1000 - $1

  • Twitter retweets x 1000 - $25

  • Instagram likes x 1000- $5

Ok, so what now?

Simple.

Follow basic internet safety tips to ensure your account login information doesn’t end up on a dark web marketplace.

Here’s What You Can Do to Protect Your Social Media Accounts

  1. Do not click on random links on social media, in an email or a text message.

  1. Regularly change your password and/or use a password manager.

  1. Don’t use public Wi-Fi, and if, switch on a VPN when logging onto any accounts.

That’s it for this week. Stay safe out there! 😎
